- High Court
The letters of administration were recalled because the administrator's without‑notice application failed to disclose an existing and material dispute about the deceased's marital status (a dispute known to the administrator) which, had it been disclosed, would have led the Court not to make the grant; the Court exercises its statutory and inherent supervisory jurisdiction to protect the integrity of its processes and, as expedient for beneficiaries, appointed an independent administrator and ordered asset preservation measures.
