    RE HAQUE SHAQUIL

    Citation
    RE HAQUE SHAQUIL
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCCA129/2011

    The court exercised its s36 discretion and passed over Mr Brian Lee as executor because his conduct demonstrated bad character (misleading court, nondisclosure, misuse of estate funds), he had a conflict of interest with an insolvent estate and would not administer the estate in its best interests; the Official Administrator was appointed instead; the caveator's application for administration in bankruptcy failed for procedural non-compliance; the application to discharge the caveat was dismissed and costs were ordered against Mr Lee.
