The grant of probate was revoked and the Defendant removed as executrix because the Defendant obstructed administration, claimed to have destroyed the grant, refused to cooperate and became unresponsive, creating a supervening defect that justified revocation rather than mere removal; a fresh grant to the Plaintiff as sole executrix was ordered to avoid further delay, and costs were awarded to the Plaintiff on an indemnity basis in the sum of HKD 150,000, with the Plaintiff's own costs to be paid from the estate.
