Personal representatives/executors have standing to bring an application under s 182 because the operative language of s 182(1) is silent as to who may apply, the statutory purpose supports protecting children and remedying injustices after dissolution, s 182(5) contemplates personal representatives in the review context, and there is no legal principle requiring abatement of discretionary relief on death; English authority D'Este is distinguishable and not followed.
