ZIN v ZIO [2018] NSWCATAP 149

ZIN v ZIO [2018] NSWCATAP 149

The appeal was dismissed because inaccurate, incomplete or unsigned applications did not prevent the Tribunal from conducting the hearing or making guardianship and financial management orders, and ZIN did not establish a denial of procedural fairness: although he received the applications and supporting material two days before the hearing, he had been on notice of the listed applications 20 days before the hearing, had an opportunity to provide evidence, and did not identify any disadvantage or additional information he would have provided with more time.
