The appellant appealed a decision granting the passing of accounts and approving compensation for the respondent as attorney for property and estate trustee.
The appellant argued the claim for compensation as attorney for property was statute-barred under the Limitations Act, 2002 and that the quantum was excessive.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that an application for the passing of accounts does not constitute a 'claim' within the meaning of the Limitations Act, 2002, as it does not seek to remedy an injury, loss, or damage.
The court also found no error in the application judge's assessment of the compensation.
