The court found on the balance of probabilities that the executors were not applying for probate due to deadlock, delay and concerns about the defendant's conduct; the court exercised its discretion under s.35(1)(f) PAO without being strictly bound by NCPR r19 in these circumstances and appointed the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (Executor and Trustee Department) as independent administrator, ordering administrator costs to be borne by the estate and party-and-party costs against the defendant to the applicant.
