Yes, that is true. Their case was distinguished as being the first case filed with the newly formed Hague Convention in 2007. The case was brought on the grounds that certain acts performed by the French Probate Court were illegal as well as questioning the legality of the Executor of the Estate (James Palmer) also being named the sole trustee of the Estate, which was upheld by the French Court. The French Probate Court's actions on behalf of the Estate of Robert Palmer were found to be both legal and acceptable. Their interpretation of law was correct. Ambrose and Carter's action was dismissed by the Hauge Convention as "Frivilous," thusley legally extinguishing their rights to bring a further lawsuit against the Estate of Robert Palmer in the future. This case was written about in the Cambridge Journal of Cambridge University.

Did Mary Ambrose the woman who unsuccessfully sued the Estate of Robert Palmer file a third case through the Hauge Convention?

Yes she did. In fact the case brought by Mary Ambrose was the first matter tried by the Hauge Convention, established in 2007, giving the matter some importance. The Hauge Convention is an International Law Tribunal that allows any citizen of a country attached to the United Nations to appeal a final court decision and officially re-open the matter. In the matter of "Mary Ambrose v. The Paris, France Probate Court" the grounds were that it was illegal for the Paris, France Court to assign a Third Party Administrator (Mark Palmer) to the Estate of Robert Palmer in 2004. The second issue was questioning the legality of James Palmer, the Executor of the Estate of Robert Palmer, to be named as the Sole Trustee of the Estate. If the Hauge Convention had decided in Mary Ambrose's favour, she would have had an opportunity to, once again, sue the Estate of Robert Palmer, for a third time. In short, Mary Ambrose's legal counsel were looking for the proverbial loophole. The Hauge Convention found as follows: the Appointment of Mark Palmer, Robert Palmer's brother, as the Third Party Administrator (at the request of James Palmer) was legal, as well as the naming of James Palmer as the Sole Trustee of the Estate of Robert Palmer. This was Mary Ambrose's final appeal (Sept. 19, 2007) and thus Mary Ambrose has no further legal recourse in suing the Estate of Robert Palmer. Her final settlement remained $16,000.00. This figure was made public by the International Court. The matter was filed through the Ticino Court System as that was Robert Palmer's last legal address in his lifetime, Lake Lugano, Ticino-Regano, Switzerland, and that is the policy of the Hauge Convention. In a probate case, the matter must be filed with the Court that is attached to the Decedant's last known legal address as it holds the strongest jurisdiction.
