ZDV v ZDW [2017] NSWCATAP 68

ZDV v ZDW [2017] NSWCATAP 68

A stay cannot be granted without reviewing the merits of the guardianship decision, and there is nothing to suggest the appeal is likely to succeed. Welfare and interests of ZDX are paramount. The urgency of the proceedings modifies procedural fairness, and only the Appeal Panel can determine whether those principles were properly applied.
