The following excerpt is from Molchan v. Omega oil and Gas Ltd., [1988] 1 SCR 348, 1988 CanLII 103 (SCC):
74. Similarly unusual circumstances prevailed in Honeywell v. Dominick, 76 S.E.2d 59 (S.C. 1953), where the sale of property relieved the estate of a considerable financial burden and the only "objections" came from beneficiaries not yet born. These potential beneficiaries were represented by a third party who attempted to evade a contract he had signed to buy the land by impugning the transaction by which the vendor had acquired it over a decade before.
