No Access to will of Princess Margaret
The claimant sought to have unsealed the will of the late Princess Margaret.
Held: The application was struck out: ‘The applicant has not articulated any intelligible basis for her claim. The facts alleged by the applicant neither assert nor identify in any intelligible way either any link with HRH Princess Margaret or any link with her will. The applicant has not identified the grounds or the source or sources of the various beliefs upon which she relies. In short, her application is hopelessly defective.’
