s51 Trustee Act jurisdiction was properly exercised to appoint the five continuing trustees because it was impracticable to secure appointments without the Court, the continuing trustees acted in good faith within the broad discretionary purposes of the deed, the settlor (the dissolved Society) had effectively abandoned its role so its wishes carried less weight, and the Council did not establish sufficient grounds to displace the continuing trustees for the limited purpose of enabling a Part III Charitable Trusts Act scheme to be prepared.
