Plaintiffs, as grandchildren whose parent predeceased the intestate, qualify as 'issue' under the Distribution Act 1958 and are statutory heirs; letters of administration obtained without naming or obtaining renunciation from known issue are invalid and liable to be set aside under s.34 PAA if sufficient cause exists to protect beneficiaries; equitable arguments cannot displace the clear statutory succession scheme; allegations against the solicitor were not determined in favour of plaintiffs on the summary application and require full trial if pursued.
