Q
What kind of actions should be taken against PRs for maladministration?
A
If the PRs have been guilty of maladministration it can be the subject of a devastavit claim.
In Ministry of Health v Simpson [1951] it was held that the correct beneficiary can recover compensation from the recipient who was wrongly paid. The compensation will be equal to the amount which the beneficiary cannot recover from the PRs.
Devastavit = wasting of assets by PRs.
