Lucey v. Catholic Orphanage of Prince Albert - [1951] SCR 690 - 1951-06-20
Supreme Court JudgmentsEstates
It would, I think, involve a violent and unnatural construction to regard the words "Reverend William Bruck" or "Reverend William Bruck o.m.i." as an adjectival phrase descriptive of St. Patrick's Orphanage, and I do not think the testatrix so employed them. [...] This view is, in my opinion, somewhat strengthened by the use of the words "the said" in the sentence which follows "—and I appoint the said Reverend William Bruck sole executor of this my will".—The testatrix first gives her estate to Reverend William Bruck and then appoints "the said Reverend William Bruck" her executor. [...] Even if the words are read, as counsel for the respondent contends they should be, "unto Reverend William Bruck,
