The Hong Kong Court of Appeal had to decide, among other things, whether he was 'in the course of…embarking and disembarking' within the meaning of Article 17 of the Amended Warsaw Convention.

It has led the appellant to wish to inspect the wills of both Princess Margaret and the late HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother: Brown v Executors of the Estate of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother & Ors (08 February 2008)
