- High Court
It was premature to authorise distribution of the missing beneficiary's one‑half share to the deceased's children; instead the court authorised debiting Ms Taina's share with the costs incurred locating her, ordered the remaining balance to be held on trust, required quarterly advertisements in a Fiji daily newspaper to locate her, and directed the executors to renew the application if she had not come forward by 31 December 2017.
