KVJD v KVFR

KVJD v KVFR was an appeal concerning the validity of an Enduring Power of Attorney, which was lodged in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The applicant sought a declaration regarding the validity of the Enduring Power of Attorney. However, the principal, who was the subject of the dispute, died before the matter was determined. The applicant did not lodge any submissions.

The central legal issues for the court to decide were whether the applicant had standing to continue the appeal and if the application for leave to appeal should be dismissed. The court had to consider the effect of the principal’s death on the standing of the applicant and whether the applicant’s failure to lodge submissions impacted the appeal.

The court found that the applicant's standing was compromised by the principal's death, as the matter had become moot. Additionally, the applicant's failure to lodge submissions further weakened their position. The court concluded that the applicant did not have standing to continue the appeal, and the application for leave to appeal was dismissed.

No further orders were made beyond the dismissal of the application for leave to appeal.
