Because the question raised by the plaintiff was one that would have justified an application by the executor and the proceedings benefited the administration of the estate, the court exercised its discretion under established authority (Re Buckton) to order the plaintiff's costs from the date of issue of the originating summons (12 August 2021) to be paid by the Estate on a solicitor and client (trustee) basis; costs to be summarily assessed and paid from the net sale proceeds with timelines for lodging statements and objections.
