27Power of the Court to appoint new trustees

27 Power of the Court to appoint new trustees (1) The Supreme Court may, whenever it is expedient to appoint a new trustee or new trustees, and it is found inexpedient, difficult, or impracticable so to do without the assistance of the Court, make an order for the appointment of a new trustee or new trustees, either in substitution for or in addition to any existing trustee or trustees, or although there is no trustee. In particular, and without prejudice to Proclamation in the Government Gazette 20 the generality of the foregoing provision, the Court may make an order for the appointment of a new trustee in substitution for a trustee who is found guilty of an indictable offence, or has been adjudicated insolvent or made an assignment or composition or arrangement with his creditors under any Act in force in that behalf, and may remove such last-mentioned trustee. (2) An order under this section, and any consequential vesting order or conveyance shall not operate further or otherwise as a discharge to any former or continuing trustee than an appointment of new trustees under any power for that purpose contained in any instrument would have operated. (3) Nothing in this section shall give power to appoint an executor or administrator.
