The Public Guardian and Trustee brought an application seeking to declare the respondent incapable of personal care and property management, and to be appointed as his permanent guardian.
The court found insufficient evidence to declare the respondent incapable of personal care, despite concerns about his living conditions.
However, the court found the respondent incapable of managing his property and removed his mother as guardian due to her failure to pass accounts and abide by a management plan, appointing the PGT in her place.
