TKG [2016] NSWCATGD 28

The Tribunal consented to withdrawal because Mr CXN's request was in Mrs TKG's best interests. Given the size of her estate, Mrs TKG still required a financial management order, and the oversight of the NSW Trustee and Guardian provided protection and alleviated family concerns about appropriate management of her finances. Once withdrawal was consented to, the review application was dismissed under s 55(1)(a).
