Also agree Makes sense

Agree w Daryo That makes perfect sense and is supported by their link.

Daryo Nov 2, 2018:

it does make sense one of the sisters [La Demanderesse, left out in the will?] demanded to receive "adequate provision for proper maintenance and support" out of the estate of the deceased, possibly also claimed that the other sister shouldn't be entitled to a "order for provision" and the other sister [la Défenderesse] opposed/contested it.

The judge decided that they are both entitled to receive "maintenance" from the estate of the deceased - makes sense.

2.32 If the court determines that the deceased person had responsibility to make adequate provision for an applicant’s proper maintenance and support, and did not do so, it may then make an order for provision (or ‘maintenance order’). 54 In Victoria, the court can only make provision out of the estate of a deceased person.55

It is difficult for me to write more context (lenghty and confidential), but at any rate, I agree with what you say, I believe the Court is granting them both this "ordonnance". Thank you!

AllegroTrans Nov 2, 2018:

I see the problem! But without reading all of your text, I don't think any of us "out here" will understand why the same kind of order is being made for both plaintiff and defendant. You say they are sisters, so perhaps the court has decided that both of them have an entitlement?

Une ordonnance alimentaire OU ordonnance de versement de pension alimentaire. But what throws me off is that the order is for both. That is what I do notunderstand.

Thank you Allegro. This is a judgment order (Australia). Testamentary dispositions in respect of their mother's estate in Australia.

Context (essential) please We need to know 1) which country this is from 2) exactly what kind of proceedings are involved
