OI v Public Guardian [2005] NSWADT 134

OI v Public Guardian [2005] NSWADT 134

The applicant failed to comply with directions and, over more than three months, did not file formal material responding to the Public Guardian's evidence or identifying substantive objections to the specific accommodation decision. His concerns about family consultation and his sister's influence did not provide a basis to interfere with the decision under review. The Tribunal therefore considered the review application to lack substance and brought the dispute about the 4 January 2005 decision to an end.
