Supreme Court refuses an application by the General Solicitor for minors and wards of court, acting as committee for a ward, to withdraw an appeal from a decision of the High Court in relation to an appeal from the Circuit Court in a long-running property dispute between family members, on the grounds that no particular benefit was to be achieved by permitting the proceedings to be withdrawn, and that there were remote issues that reflected on the wardship orders in the case.
Ruling of the court: Wardship - validity of wardship of notice party to proceedings - admission to wardship in August 2016 - appointment of General Solicitor of wards of court as committee of ward - intention of committee to withdraw appeal in name of ward - whether General Solicitor had power to take proposed step - appeal from decision of High Court in relation to Circuit Court appeal - history of bitter litigation - order that one family member was entitled to entire legal and beneficial interest in property - direction to other family member to effect an assurance - failure to comply with order to deliver possession of lands - death of one party on date judgment was to be delivered - stay on notice of appeal to Supreme Court - proliferation of proceedings.
