52 Expiration of administration orders
[Section 52 Substituted by No. 21 of 2023, s. 46, Applied:01 Sep 2024]
(1) An administration order has effect for 3 years, or such shorter period as the Tribunal may specify in the order, unless the order is continued in effect under section 68 .
(2) In determining the duration of an order, the Tribunal must take into account the following:
(a) the likelihood of improvements to the represented person’s decision-making ability;
(b) the prospect that changes to circumstances, including interventions to establish support arrangements, will mitigate the need for a guardian or administrator (or both);
(c) the requirement that the order is the least restrictive to the person’s freedom of decision and action as is possible in the circumstances.
