58 Examination and passing of accounts etc
The rules may require—
the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person to file an inventory of the estate; and
accounts of the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person to be examined and passed.
The Supreme Court may, by order, require—
the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person to file an inventory of the estate; and
accounts of the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person to be examined and passed.
An order of the Supreme Court passing an account of the executor or administrator of the estate of a deceased person—
is evidence of its correctness; and
operates, after the end of 3 years after the date of the order, to release the executor or administrator.
However, subsection (3) (b) does not apply to an account as far as someone interested in the estate shows that an error or omission or fraudulent entry has been made in the account.
