It was not possible for two trustees to retire, and be replaced by and leaving only one trustee, not being a trust corporation. The two trustees were not therefore discharged from the trust, and the solicitors who had advised them in the exercise had been negligent. A discharge of the second trustee could only be obtained via section 39.
