High Court, in an action brought by a bank to recover a debt from the estate of a deceased person, awards costs to the executors of the estate, where the estate was insolvent, on the grounds that they were 'administration expenses' with priority under the relevant legislation. The claim for summary judgment was not opposed, and the court determined that it was appropriate to measure the costs of solicitor and counsel.
