    Both summonses dismissed because the bankrupt lacked the necessary legal standing: she could not show her estate would have a surplus if the claim succeeded and therefore was not an 'aggrieved person' under s83, and she lacked a legitimate interest to invoke s96; additionally the trustees' decision was objectively reasonable given low prospects of recovery, jurisdictional and enforcement issues and absence of funding, and the misconduct allegations were unsupported.
