An application under Section 33(3) PAO for removal of a personal representative is an action (not part of non-contentious probate) but the court may by direction under Order 28 Rule 3A adjourn the matter to chambers where a probate master, deriving jurisdiction via Order 32 Rule 11, can consider and, where appropriate and with proper consents and documentation, determine the application on papers; the court must ensure the statutory criteria for removal are satisfied.
