- It is an established principle that in order to sue in the courts of England and Wales a person has no standing to institute proceedings as an administrator in advance of the issue of letters of administration and that proceedings brought earlier are a nullity: see Jennison v Jennison [2023] Ch 225 at [18]. The claimant has no grant of representation. The issue therefore arises whether the current proceedings are brought for the administration of a foreign estate and a nullity accordingly or whether they are properly to be seen as proceedings brought for the benefit of the claimant personally.”
