If the second marriage is rendered void by the invalidation by the court of the decree absolute relating to the first marriage, what about any wills prior to the second marriage that the second marriage would otherwise have rendered void? Are they suddenly revalidated? This could be relevant to both parties to the second marriage, one of whom had nothing to do with the first marriage.

Further, what is the position where the party making the will (the 'will-maker' rather than the 'testator(trix)' if the Law Commission has its way) has died and their estate has been administered under the intestacy rules or is in the course of administration on that basis? Is the innocent administrator liable to the beneficiaries under the now reinstated will for having paid the estate out to the potentially wrong people?
