Order 15 r.6A(4) does not require the person appointed to represent a deceased's estate to have an interest in the estate or outcome; where plaintiff has taken reasonable steps to identify interested persons and none will act and Official Solicitor refuses for lack of documents, the court may appoint an independent solicitor for limited purposes to allow the claim to proceed; appeal allowed and appointment ordered.
