High Court grants the applicant liberty to extract Letters of Administration with Will Annexed de bonis non for the estate of his late grandfather, enabling the applicant to perfect title to certain ancestral lands. The court found it necessary to allow this due to the abolition of the Chain of Representation doctrine by statute, which meant that there was no existing legal personal representative to execute the required assent. The court also deemed it unnecessary to appoint an independent solicitor for the Grant, as it would only increase costs without benefit.
