RULING

This is an application dated 5 March 1991 for leave to appeal a decision of the Magistrates court given on 7 September 1965.

The case in 1965 (25/65) was the distribution of a deceaseds estate. It follows the familiar pattern where an estate is distributed without all interested parties being present. In this case the applicant is shown as present but claims that she was not there.

We are informed that the parties to this application have come to an amicable settlement whereby they have commenced fresh proceedings in the Magistrates court requesting a distribution afresh taking into account the interests of all concerned parties.

In this event she wishes to withdraw her application. We give her leave to do so and dismiss it.
