The plot has thickened on a legal battle over the $800m estate of TV mogul Reg Grundy.
The Daily Telegraph reports a man named Simon Thomas Russell has launched legal action alongside Grundy’s estranged daughter, Viola La Valette, claiming to be his ‘long lost son.’
In a plot worthy of Sons and Daughters his barrister Nicolas Kirby told Justice Geoff Lindsay his client had commenced the legal proceedings to search for a biological sample belonging to Mr Grundy so he could prove he was the multi-millionaire’s son.
A pathology lab is currently withholding test results until it receives an affidavit from Carolyn Joy Chambers-Grundy in Bermuda.
Ms La Valette began the court battle in 2017 disputing her father’s will, which made Ms Chambers-Grundy the main beneficiary of his massive estate.
The case is set down for hearing next month.
