ZTU v ZTV [2021] NSWCATAP 121

ZTU v ZTV [2021] NSWCATAP 121

The appeal was dismissed because no error of law was established in the Guardianship Division’s decision to appoint ZTW as guardian and financial manager for ZTV. The Tribunal did not fail to take into account any mandatory considerations or relevant evidence, did not consider irrelevant material, and its findings as to ZTW’s suitability were supported by the evidence. Leave to appeal was refused as no issue of principle, general public importance, or clear injustice was established.
