The Court was asked to determine the validity of both these provisos. Mr Justice Nicholas declared invalid the clause referring to divorce on the ground that it offered inducement to the son to divorce his wife if occasion offered; and was, therefore, contrary to public policy. The judge held, however, that the second proviso (that the son could inherit absolutely if his absolutely if his present wife died before him was valid.
