- High Court
Application dismissed because the executors were properly administering the estate by protecting the deceased's testamentary promise (life tenancy) to the father; there was no material prejudice to beneficiaries from delay and no sufficient conflict of interest to warrant removal; expedience favored retaining the current executors and a replacement tenancy or sole appointment of the applicant did not provide adequate protection for the life tenant.
