What can be the outcome of a review?
If the Tribunal is satisfied that there are sufficient grounds for an appointment to continue, it can either:
- allow the order to remain or
- alter the order by, for example, changing the terms of the appointment, removing an appointee or making a new appointment.
However, if the Tribunal is not satisfied that the grounds for the appointment are adequate, it is bound by law to revoke the order and remove the guardian and/or administrator.
Guardians and administrators can be removed when:
- the adult’s needs have not been met as required by the order
- the appointee has neglected their duties or abused their decision-making authority, either generally or in relation to a specific matter
- the appointee has otherwise contravened the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000
- a need for a guardian or administrator no longer exists
- the appointee is no longer competent to act as a decision maker
- another person is more appropriate for appointment.
