The cause of action for a Section 8 declaration accrued before the Applicant's death and survives under s20 LARCO; a Section 8 declaration after death serves useful and concrete purposes (confirming marital status and legitimacy and clarifying validity of subsequent marriages); Order 15 r7 did not apply because the deceased's interest had not been assigned or transmitted, but Order 15 r15 applied and the Daughter (CWY) was properly appointed to represent the estate for the proceedings.
