- High Court
The Court granted interim letters of administration to Michael John Markham under Administration Act 1969 s 6(2) because special circumstances existed—principally the need to preserve and properly manage multiple trading companies controlled by the deceased, the applicant's relevant knowledge and consent of the surviving spouse—and because the grant was limited in scope and time, thereby protecting the interests of those entitled; a competency assessment and security were not required on the facts and the without-notice procedure was justified.
