Joinder of the residuary beneficiary was necessary to enable adjudication and tracing of estate assets where plaintiffs assert equitable interests from exercised options; the Court exercised its discretion to join the proposed defendant despite potential s51 defenses and the modest quantum, because tracing may be required and the executors' distribution does not preclude examination of where estate property went; timetabling for any strike out/summary judgment applications ordered.
