- High Court
The application to set aside the 2003 Family Court consent orders is dismissed: there was no breach of natural justice to the MAPFT or to the remote discretionary beneficiaries given trustees' participation and applicable service rules, the Family Court had adequate material to satisfy jurisdictional thresholds, and even if error existed the long delay and final distribution of the estate preclude setting aside the orders.
