- High Court
s 19(1) applied because the named executor neglected to prove the will; the applicant had priority under r 655 and complied with r 656, but given entrenched family conflict, risk of deadlock and likely prejudice to effective and expeditious administration, special circumstances under s 6 justified refusing the applicant's sole appointment and directing appointment of an independent solicitor/administrator.
