Because there was a realistic potential conflict and practical inability of the parties to cooperate, the court ordered an independent accountant appointed as additional administrator; the estate must pay the parties' costs up to and including the start of the trial (including reserved costs) and thereafter there is no order as to costs between the parties; defendant is not personally liable for the plaintiff's costs; plaintiff's own legal aid costs to be taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations with certificate for counsel.
