JUDICIAL TRUSTEE RULES - RULE 21

Removal of judicial trustee

(1) The court may, either without any application or on the application of any
person appearing to the court to be interested in the trust, remove a judicial
trustee if the court considers that it is expedient to do so in the interests
of the trust.

(2) An application to remove a judicial trustee shall be made by summons.

(3) A judicial trustee shall not be removed by the court without an
application for the purpose, except after notice has been given to him by the
court of the grounds on which it is proposed to remove him, and of the time
and place at which the matter will be heard.

(4) The court shall cause a copy of the notice to the trustee to be sent to
such of the persons appearing to the court to be interested in the trust as
the court directs, and the same procedure shall be followed in the matter so
far as possible as on a summons to remove a judicial trustee.
