What is the testator’s consideration of the contingency of the deceased legatee?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Coulter v. King, 1919 CanLII 342 (SK QB):
To fully illustrate what I have said I think it well to quote in full the judgment which reads as follows, pp. 775, 776: [Here the learned Judge quotes in full the judgment of Fry, L.J. in In re Wilkins; Spencer v. Duckworth, supra, commencing with the words, “Fry, L.J., after stating the facts, said—What is the contingency referred to?”, on p. 775 (50 L.J. Ch.) and ending with the words “because what the testator has given over is the entirety of the interest of the legatee so dying” on p. 776.]
