- High Court
The Court discharged the applicant as administrator under s 21(1) Administration Act 1969 because his permanent overseas residence materially impaired his ability to act and pending proceedings in which he is a defendant as a beneficiary created a conflict of interest; the co‑administrator's consent and absence of prejudice supported discharge; no immediate costs award was made and any costs application must be filed on notice.
