The appellant, Rowan Gray, appealed a Superior Court decision that removed him as Executor and Estate Trustee of his mother's estate due to his failure to administer estate assets.
The motion judge had also declined to appoint one of the respondents as a replacement, instead opting for a professional executor.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no errors in the motion judge's application of the high threshold for removing an estate trustee, the determination that certain claims were not statute-barred under the Trustee Act, or the finding of sufficient corroboration under the Evidence Act.
The court affirmed the motion judge's decision as legally sound and practical, and awarded costs against the appellant personally.
