The defendant's inconsistent and changing claims over the securities account created a serious conflict of interest with the estate and the minor beneficiary such that, applying s33(3) PAO and having regard to the sizeable estate and the minor's protected statutory interest, the court removed both co-administrators and appointed independent professional administrators (McCabe and Mr Kong) and ordered delivery up of assets and vesting; costs awarded to the plaintiff on an indemnity basis and plaintiff's costs to be paid from the estate.
