HURLEY & HURLEY

In the matter of *Hurley & Hurley*, Foster J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales was required to consider an application concerning the appointment of a case guardian. The applicant, Mr Hurley, sought the appointment of Ms B to act as his case guardian.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether it was appropriate and necessary to appoint Ms B as case guardian for Mr Hurley. This involved assessing Mr Hurley's capacity to manage his own legal affairs and the suitability of Ms B for this role.

Foster J, by consent of the parties, made orders appointing Ms B as case guardian for the applicant, Mr Hurley. This outcome indicates that the Court was satisfied that such an appointment was warranted and in Mr Hurley's best interests.
