The Court held the Executors could be substituted for the Committee because the cause of action survived the deceased, the Committee had been discharged by operation of law, substitution under Order 15 r7 and r8(4) was appropriate and not prejudicial despite delay; on sentencing, the defendant's disclosure was late and inadequate, showed failure to regard the order's significance and did not purge contempt, and an immediate custodial sentence of two months was warranted with an order to provide further disclosure within 42 days of release and costs to the plaintiff on an indemnity basis.
