    HCAP2302/1994

    Refusal by the Probate Master to grant an appointment was contrary to established practice and wrong in principle; the Probate Master must hear submissions on outstanding requisitions because decisions by probate officers without hearing do not constitute a Registrar's decision for the purposes of appeal under Rule 62; the matter is remitted to the Probate Master to hear the applicant's submissions.
