Wynne and Hummell

In the matter of *Wynne and Hummell*, heard before Judge Betts, the proceedings concerned an application by Ms Wynne, who sought to be appointed as the legal personal representative of the deceased respondent, Mr Hummell. The applicant sought leave to discontinue the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether Ms Wynne should be appointed as the legal personal representative of the deceased respondent pursuant to Rule 6.15 of the Family Law Rules, and consequently substituted as a party to the proceedings. The court was also required to determine whether the applicant should be granted leave to discontinue the proceedings.

Judge Betts ordered that Ms Wynne be appointed as the legal personal representative on behalf of the deceased respondent, Mr Hummell, and that she be substituted as a party in his place. The court further ordered that the applicant be granted leave to discontinue the proceedings.
