Because one executor was deceased and the remaining executor sought to be discharged due to serious medical reasons, and because the deceased's codicil endorsed appointment of Wynyard Wood partners together with consent from the majority of interested parties, the Court exercised its powers under Administration Act 1969 s21 and High Court Rules r19.5 to discharge Noel Johnston and appoint Penny Jones as administrator, dispensing with further service.
