- High Court
The court exercised its power under s21(1) of the Administration Act 1969, finding it expedient to remove the executors because they failed to take required administration steps, had been absent from New Zealand for more than 12 months without appointing attorneys, and their inaction prejudiced the beneficiary; the applicant was appointed sole executor as the expedient solution for beneficiaries' interests.
