“…an order that the defendants be sued in a representative capacity could not be made without the authority of their Family, who, if asked for it by the plaintiff, would not have given it to help him. If the defendants had asked their Family for such authority, the prospects would have been better. In practice, when defendants are sued on their family’s behalf, it is they who, if so minded, obtain the family’s authority and apply to the Court for approval.”
