The importance of statutory time limits in contested wills cases

White J observed in Bird v Bird [2002] QSC 202 at [22]: “time limits in statutes are for good reason. The fundamental policy of the law and the reason for the statutory time limit is that there be prompt administration of the estate and the preservation of the certainty and integrity of an executorial administration regularly completed: Baker v Williams & Brunner [2007] QSC 226 at [30] per de Jersey CJ; and see Hills v Chalk (supra) at [78]-[81] per Muir JA.”
