The appeal was dismissed because the Fatal Accidents claim could not be maintained by the appellant who was not an executor or administrator and the statutory exception in s5(2) did not apply, and the estate claim under Order 15 r6A failed because the proceedings were commenced in the appellant's name (not the deceased's), so the sub‑rule did not apply to appoint a representative for the estate.
