The applicant brought an application under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992 seeking, among other relief, appointment as guardian of property for an incapable person.
The matter was adjourned at the request of the respondent, and the court determined the appropriate terms of the adjournment.
Finding that the proceeding had been unduly delayed by the respondent, the court imposed conditions to protect the incapable person and the integrity of the process, including limited cross‑examinations, disclosure of documents relating to alleged abuse, production of a statement of assets, and completion of outstanding undertakings.
Costs of the attendance were fixed and reserved to the application judge.
