LORD NORTHCLIFFE'S WILL
MORE LITIGATION LIKELY. LONDON December 28. The Nenm of the World forecasts further litigation concerning Lord Northollife's will owing to a contention that ox-service men employees who were not demobilised at the time of Lord Northcliffo’s death were not able to participate in the legacies, and also owing to the beneficiaries’ complaint that some assets of the estate realised inadequate prices. The winding-up of the estate has been further delayed by a claim for additional death duties amounting to £500,000. This point involves the purchase price of Lord Northcliffe’s shares in the Daily Mail and the Weekly Dispatch, which Were bought by his brother, Lord Bothered ere, and later sold to the Daily Mail trust.
