ELQ v Public Guardian [2022] NSWCATAD 165

ELQ v Public Guardian [2022] NSWCATAD 165

The application was dismissed as misconceived because the applicants did not first seek an internal review of the Public Guardian's decision, as required under s 55(3) of the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997, and no exception to that requirement applied; thus, there was no administratively reviewable decision for the Tribunal to determine.
