The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee brought a motion to be appointed as the guardian of property and personal care for an incapable adult, seeking to remove the adult's sister from the role.
The court found that the sister had failed to act in the incapable adult's best interests by removing her from a successful group home placement, failing to secure appropriate alternative residential care, leaving her to languish in a hospital mental health ward, and failing to pass her accounts.
The motion was granted, the sister was removed as guardian, and the Public Guardian and Trustee was appointed in her place.
