A wife who claimed her husband tore up a will that left her nothing has lost her legal battle to inherit his estate.
The case involved an elderly Ukrainian man who made the will in 2010, a couple of years before he died and one year after his second marriage. The will left his estate to his grandchildren from a previous relationship.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published new guidelines to help companies steer clear of discrimination laws when recruiting new staff or advertising their services.
The guidelines point out that placing a discriminatory advert is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010 (‘the Act’).
The Act protects individuals from discrimination because of sex, race, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, marriage and civil partnership, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age - these are described as protected characteristics.
