80 Separate representation of child Where, in proceedings under this Act, it appears to the Court that a child ought to be separately represented, the Court may of its own motion or on the application of the child, the Minister, an organisation concerned with the welfare of children or any other person, order that the child be separately represented, and the Court may make such other orders as it thinks necessary for the purpose of securing that separate representation.
