    RE TBS

    [2019] HKCFI 2919
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMH51/2019

    The Court has jurisdiction to make interim residential, care and access arrangements for a mentally incapacitated person pending appointment of a guardian by invoking its inherent protective jurisdiction to cover matters not squarely within s10A; s10A applies to property and affairs and may cover residential and financial provision but does not by itself encompass all care/access arrangements; the 2nd Interim Arrangements ordered were in Mother’s best interests and do not fetter the Guardianship Board.

    Case number
    FCMC1930/2019

    On balance and applying the best interests principle, given interim shared care arrangements, the potential stress of a major school change for very young children, unresolved factual disputes that did not justify overturning status quo, the father's summons for leave to transfer the children to Harrow was dismissed and the children were ordered to continue at their current schools.
