The High Court dismissed a case brought by plaintiffs seeking to invalidate a will and revoke a grant of probate extracted by the defendant, ruling that the plaintiffs lacked standing as they could not benefit from the proceedings. The plaintiffs, not beneficiaries under the will or in the event of intestacy, failed to demonstrate how the outcome would confer any tangible benefit upon them. The court found that the proceedings could not offer any advantage to the plaintiffs, even if successful.
