Personal Violence Act 2016

The Magistrates Court may in a proceeding for a protection order, on application or on its own initiative—

remove the litigation guardian of a person with impaired decision-making ability in the proceeding; and

order that the proceeding be stayed until someone else has been appointed as a replacement litigation guardian.

An applicant for an order under subsection (1) must, unless the Magistrates Court otherwise directs, serve notice of the application on the person whose removal is sought and on the person with impaired decision‑making ability in the proceeding.

An application under subsection (1) may be made by a party to the proceeding or anyone else.
