Court of Session Inner House First Division.
Facts:
The Presumption of Life (Scotland) Act 1881 provides (section 9) that “Any number of persons entitled to succeed as aforesaid may be conjoined in one petition relating to the estate of the same absent person; and any person having a limited right of succession may appear as petitioner to the effect of having such right made effectual, subject to the provisions of this Act.” In a petition under section 4 of the said Act, at the instance of three persons, who were respectively the father, brother, and sister of a fourth person who had disappeared, for authority to make up title to his moveable estate, after advertisement of the petition and proof taken on commission, the Lords sisted another brother as a party to the petition on his presenting a minute craving to be so sisted with a view to getting his share of the said estate.
