DYH v ZNT [2021] NSWCATAP 140

DYH v ZNT [2021] NSWCATAP 140

The Appeal Panel held that the Senior Member was entitled, on the information before him, to make the findings and conclusions reached about both guardianship and financial management. The appellant identified no evidence showing relevant evidence was ignored, irrelevant evidence was considered, bias was established, or any error of law occurred. The remaining grounds did not justify leave to appeal, so the appeal had no merit and was dismissed.
