The legal battle over the $800m estate of pioneering producer Reg Grundy headed back to court yesterday.
Simon Russell, who recently emerged claiming to be the son of the late TV mogul, attended Sydney’s Supreme Court along with Grundy’s Bermuda-based widow, Joy Chambers-Grundy and his only known child, Viola La Valette.
Russell’s barrister, Nicholas Kirby, revealed the long-awaited results of a DNA comparison.
“Sadly, the fortuitously found biological sample… once tested, yielded insufficient DNA to construct a competed profile”, he said.
“So those results came back inconclusive.”
Estranged dayghter Viola La Valette is challenging the a $250,000 to be paid to her annually.
10 News First reports Chambers-Grundy initially claimed all of the couple’s assets — with the exception of their Bermuda mansion — were in a trust, meaning her husband died with nothing to his name.

How can a paternal dna between father and son be inconclusive?
My understanding is not enough DNA on Reg Grundy as yet.
Oh ok, thanks.
Wheres Jeremy Kyle when you need him?
Did they use DNA from their “Reg Grundys”?
*bows* Thank you.
Pay that.
Just by looking at them you can tell they are father and son. They look the same!
when i saw the story on the news i did think they look remarkably alike, but its not enough to prove it….
