NZN [2014] NSWCATGD 19

Because an order made by the Mental Health Review Tribunal under the NSW Trustee and Guardian Act 2009 remained in force relating to Mr NZN's estate, section 25K(2) of the Guardianship Act 1987 removed the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to make another financial management order. The application was therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
