Cassell and Cassell

In *Cassell and Cassell*, the applicant sought the appointment of a case guardian. The application was heard by Hannam J.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the appointment of a case guardian was necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.

Hannam J dismissed the application, finding that the threshold for appointing a case guardian had not been met. The Court applied the principles governing the appointment of case guardians, which require a demonstrated need for such an appointment to ensure the proper conduct of the proceedings or the protection of a party's interests. In this instance, the Court was not satisfied that such a need existed.
