The High Court held that when a court appoints a person as a guardian or additional guardian under s110(2) (pursuant to s83(1) when hearing an application under s125 and s127), s110(4) authorises the court to appoint that person as a special guardian under s113A provided the criteria in s113A(1) are satisfied; it is not necessary for s83(1) to expressly refer to s113A.
