Trustees not to withhold consent arbitrarily
93 Trustees not to withhold consent arbitrarily
Without limiting the generality of the last preceding section—
the trustees of the settlement in giving or withholding their consent to any act or thing proposed to be done by the tenant for life and in exercising any power or right under this Act shall have regard to the interests of all parties under the settlement and are not to withhold their consent arbitrarily;
a tenant for life dissatisfied at the consent being withheld may apply to the Court for an order authorizing him to do that particular act or thing in respect of which the consent was withheld without such consent, and the Court shall have full power and discretion to make such order and give such directions respecting the subject-matter of the application and in respect of the costs of the application as the Court thinks fit;
if at any time whether before or after the consent has been withheld or has been dispensed with under this subsection any other difference arises between a tenant for life and the trustees of the settlement respecting the exercise of any powers under this Act or respecting any matter relating thereto the Court may on the application of either party give such directions respecting the matter in difference and respecting the costs of the application as the Court thinks fit.
