131 / 822
estate of the deceased had, from the start, been
carried out by Mr. A. the solicitor-executor, in the
name and on behalf of Mr. B. On the hearing of a
summons claiming a declaration that the liability
of the testator's estate for the costs of administra
tion was limited to the outlay actually incurred and
did not extend to professional charges or profit costs,
it was held that Section 21 of the Trustee Act, 1893,
does not relieve an executor from the duty of justify
ing a retainer made by him, and that the plaintiff
was entitled to the order of inquiry sought.
It was
further held that where the defendant, Mr. A.
joined in proving the will of the testator he created
in himself an inherent incapacity to earn profit costs
in the administration of the estate either for himself
or as agent for Mr. B., and that since a principal,
acting by an agent who is under a disability, cannot
claim to be in any better situation than his agent,
Mr. B. was not entitled to charge profit costs for
work done on his behalf by Mr. A. in the said
administration.
