- HCMH121/2019
Given credible medical evidence of LHHK's incapacity and that a committee must be appointed, the court found PL unsuitable because of concerns about her health and ongoing psychiatric follow-up, lack of demonstrated personal involvement in managing LHHK's affairs, potential conflict of interest arising from wills executed with the carer, and the complexity and value of the estate requiring neutral independent management and investigation. The Official Solicitor, having consented and being neutral, is the appropriate appointee; ancillary cost directions and publication directions follow.
