    The Attorney-General must be joined as a party to an application for a vesting order affecting property of a dissolved company because he represents the Crown as the person to be divested of the property; his joinder is required even where the Crown does not assert a bona vacantia claim, but the applicant must pay the Attorney-General's costs on the trustee basis.
