- High Court
Because Mary was incapacitated and the validity of removal under the trust deed/EPA was uncertain, the court exercised its statutory and inherent powers (s51 and s52 Trustee Act 1956) to remove Mary as trustee, appoint Andrea in her place, and vest the trust land in Bernard and Andrea; the court also dispensed with service and a litigation guardian as the application was administrative, unopposed and in the beneficiaries' interests.
