Because the marriage had not been dissolved the applicant had statutory priority under s 6(1) of the Administration Act 1969 to apply for letters of administration; the respondent failed to comply with court directions and did not establish valid grounds to maintain the caveat, so the Order Nisi was made absolute and letters of administration were granted to the applicant.
