A direction to award millions to the de facto partner of a high-profile doctor who signed a declaration to that effect the day he died has been upheld by a court.
In the judgment Harry Nespolon's de facto partner Lindy van Camp has been awarded the deceased doctor's estate, estimated to be worth more than $4.7 million, following a successful court battle.
Dr Nespolon was president of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners from 2018 until his death from pancreatic cancer aged 57 in July 2020.
