Example Will-interpretation
suit
Take for example the case where the loss to one party the
given to another turns upon the interpretation put upon a will
Suppose no ground rules laid down in the Equity book for the course to be taken
on the occasion of an interpretation to be put upon a will.
what would have been the consequence? that, on the occasion of
each individual will, supposing the intention of the testator was to
be contrary to law, the sole question of the judge would have been
what was actually the intention of that same testator whereas
the general rule having been laid down the question and on
the individual occasion in question compliance given to it,
the question standard conformed to will have been — not the intention
of the testator, but the meaning of the rule. Things being
in this state deciding according to the rule the Commissioner will
decide in a manner most pleasing to most audiences to the happiness
of learned Lords and Gentlemen. But, deciding according to
the intention of the testator he will decide in a manner most
conducive to the happiness of of every body else: for be of the
course he takes the tendency will be to exclude all who are the
fear of the frustration of their wishes as expressed by their last wills,
whereas by deciding otherwise than according to such intention, the
tendency of the course he takes will be to give to an indefinite
extent birth to that same fear.
In this case state of things pain of regret disappointment, strictly
speaking, true it is, there will not be: pain of regret however
there will be: and to a certain quantity of pain of disappointment
the pain of regret will be equivalent.
