Page Background

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.
