Prominent physician Brian Hormus George Choa is applying in the High Court to set up several educational funds with the estate of the late Bobbie Kotewall, daughter of the late Sir Robert Hormus Kotewall.
Filing the summons in the Court of First Instance on Tuesday, Dr Choa, a neurologist, applied for a variation of the Charitable Trust held by the Kotewall's estate.
