Re Trotter: 1899

A witness to the will was to claim a benefit under it. The will had later been confirmed and altered in a codicil.
Held: Section 15 did not apply so as to avoid the gift to the beneficiary, since the will, and the gift, had been confirmed by the later codicil which was not so tainted.
