##### 94. Review of trustee’s acts by Court etc.
(1) Any person who has, directly or indirectly, an interest, whether vested or contingent, in any trust property, and who is aggrieved by any act, omission or decision of a trustee in the exercise of any power conferred by this Act, or who has reasonable grounds to apprehend any such act, omission or decision of a trustee by which he will be aggrieved, may apply to the Court to review the act, omission or decision, or to give directions in respect of the apprehended act, omission or decision; and the Court may require the trustee to appear before it, and to substantiate and uphold the grounds of the act, omission or decision that is being reviewed, and may make such order in the premises as the circumstances of the case may require.
(2) An order of the Court under subsection (1) shall not —
(a) disturb any distribution of the trust property, made without breach of trust, before the trustee became aware of the making of the application to the Court; or
(b) affect any right acquired by any person in good faith and for valuable consideration.
(3) Where any application is made under this section, the Court may —
(a) if any question of fact is involved, direct how the question shall be determined; and
(b) if the Court is being asked to make an order that may adversely affect the rights of any person who is not a party to the proceedings, direct that that person shall be made a party to the proceedings.
