The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
That said, if the replacement lawyer is within the same firm or Chambers as the departing
lawyer, then no further application is required, unless directed by the Court.
The Court may, on considering your notification, arrange for the application to be set down for a formalhearing if the
application has yet to be determined or for a rehearing if the application has already been determined.
