Aged and Infirm Persons' Property Act 1940

Proceedings under this Part, whether commenced by originating summons, application under section 8A of this Act or on the court's own initiative under that section shall remain open for application to be made therein from time to time to the court by the manager, or the protected person, or the Public Trustee, or by any relation of the protected person or by any person interested in the protected estate. After such notice or service as the court thinks fit to direct, any person may be made party to the proceedings generally or in any particular matter, and the court may grant and enforce against such party in matters relating to the protected person or the protected estate all judgments, orders, costs, and remedies, including injunction and mandamus, as the court might grant and enforce in any action against such party on the application of the protected person or of the manager: Provided that if such party requires that an issue or issues of fact be stated and tried by the court, the court may direct that an issue or issues of fact be stated and tried, as between the manager in the names of the protected person and such party, by the court as upon the trial of an ordinary action or that the issue or issues of fact be stated and tried, as between the manager in the names of the protected person and such party, by the court in such other manner in accordance with the general practice of the court as is deemed appropriate by the court.

Upon any application to the court by the manager or the Public Trustee after the making of the protection order, it shall be necessary to serve with notice of the application only such persons or parties (if any) as the court on the application requires to have notice thereof.

The court may at any time discharge any party made party to the proceedings.
