The applicant executor sought court direction regarding a charitable gift to a respondent organization whose charitable status had been revoked.
Concurrently, the respondent organization moved for leave to be represented by a non-lawyer.
The court denied leave for non-lawyer representation, citing the proposed representative's past conduct and inability to advocate effectively, and ordered the organization to appoint a solicitor.
The court also allowed the executor to pay the disputed funds into court and added the Public Guardian and Trustee as a party with carriage of the application, recognizing its parens patriae role in charitable matters.
