https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170969 An appeal against a decree affecting a public trust was held incompetent when filed by only some co-trustees, because trustees hold office jointly and all necessary trustees must be before the appellate court where trust property liability is in issue. The court rejected reliance on procedural provisions allowing representation by one of several parties, finding that omission to implead all co-trustees left the appeal inherently defective and exposed the matter to conflicting decrees. It also held that the appellate court's power to proceed against non-appearing parties could not cure the defect in the appeal itself. en-us Tue, 06 Oct 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 11:24:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170969 An appeal against a decree affecting a public trust was held incompetent when filed by only some co-trustees, because trustees hold office jointly and all necessary trustees must be before the appellate court where trust property liability is in issue.
