Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants challenged the inclusion of medical and funeral expense claims by the first respondent in the estate account of their late mother. They sought to overturn what they claimed was the Master's direction accepting these claims, but the court found no valid Master's direction existed to challenge as the statutory procedure had not been properly followed.
