Re J Franklin & Son Ltd L F owned the greater part of the shares of J F & Son Ltd. His wife was appointed director in his lifetime, and also in his lifetime one C C was appointed a director. The latter never took up his qualification shares, and, although he continued to act and was treated as a director, he in law ceased to be such in 1933. L F died in 1934, and his wife, being in bad health, then went to the South of France, it being expected that her stay there would be a temporary one, but in fact she never returned.
