21 As to a tenant for life who has parted with his interest
If it is shown to the satisfaction of the Court that a tenant for life, who has by reason of bankruptcy, insolvency, assignment, incumbrance, or otherwise ceased in the opinion of the Court to have a substantial interest in his estate or interest in the settled land or any part thereof, has unreasonably refused to exercise any of the powers conferred on him by this Act, or consents to an order under this section, the Court may, on the application of any person interested in the settled land or the part thereof affected, make an order authorizing the trustees of the settlement to exercise in the name and on behalf of the tenant for life, any of the powers of a tenant for life under this Act, in relation to the settled land or the part thereof affected, either generally and in such manner and for such period as the Court may think fit, or in a particular instance, and the Court may by the order direct that any documents of title in the possession of the tenant for life relating to the settled land be delivered to the trustees of the settlement.
