Accounts—class interests
2731 Accounts—class interests
If it appears to the court that the interests of the people who are entitled to attend the taking of the account can be classified, the court may order each class to be represented by 1 solicitor and counsel.
Pt 6.2 (Applications in proceedings) applies to an application for an order under this rule.
Despite an order under subrule (1), a person who objects to being represented as a member of a class—
may be separately represented; and
if separately represented, is not entitled to an order for costs and may be ordered to pay additional costs incurred by someone else because of the separate representation.
The court may order separate representation for members of a class who are represented by 1 solicitor and counsel.
This rule is additional to rule 259 (Representation—proceeding about administration of deceased person’s estate or trust property) and rule 266 (Representation—numerous concurrent interests).
