- HCA5643/1991
The claim could not proceed in the plaintiff's personal capacity without joining the administratrix because the pleaded wrongs principally concern estate assets and causes of action that vested in the personal representative; conduct before death does not by itself make defendants executors de son tort and the pleaded claim against D1 as executor de son tort failed to disclose reasonable cause of action, therefore the action A5643/91 is stayed for want of proper constitution with liberty to the plaintiff to join the administratrix and to amend the struck out parts within one month.
