KE -v- Protective Commissioner [2004] NSWADT 59

In the circumstances, the applicant’s wish to retain certain properties is to be taken into account but cannot override the need for substantial funds to be generated. A stay should continue in relation to the 6 Porter Avenue property, but the restriction on sale of 1 Miller Street, Petersham is lifted, allowing its sale. This balances the applicant’s interests, expert advice, and need for financial resources.
