(13) Advocate S. Franckel as Representative of the Minor and unborn Beneficiaries of the A and B Trusts
This judgment arises out of an application by the Representors as trustees of the A Trust and the B Trust (together "the Trusts") for the Court's blessing of their decision to enter into a settlement agreement ("the Settlement Agreement") in respect of certain claims against the Trusts. At the same time, Advocate Franckel has applied for the Court's blessing of his decision also to enter into the Settlement Agreement as representative of the minor and unborn beneficiaries of the Trusts.
We have given our blessing both to the Representors and to Advocate Franckel and have set out our reasons in a separate judgment which will not be published. However, we are giving this judgment for publication on the short point of the Court's jurisdiction to bless Advocate Franckel's decision, as it appears that this issue has not been considered previously.
The background to the proceedings in question is to be found in the previous judgment of this Court dated 13 th November 2019, In the matter of the A and B Trusts [2019] JRC 221B. In summary the background is as follows.
Both Trusts were established by Mr and Mrs H as settlors when they were living in Guernsey. They have four children, namely the First to Fourth Respondents ("the siblings").
