Mynatt and Siddall & Anor

In the matter of *Mynatt and Siddall & Anor*, heard before Watts J, the dispute concerned the appointment of a case guardian for Ms Mynatt. The specific nature of the underlying family law proceedings is not detailed, but the immediate issue before the court was the necessity and appropriateness of appointing a guardian to represent Ms Mynatt's interests in the proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to appoint a case guardian for Ms Mynatt. This involved considering the circumstances that would necessitate such an appointment and the legal framework governing the appointment of guardians in family law matters. The court was required to determine if Ms Mynatt lacked the capacity to conduct her own litigation or if other factors warranted the appointment of a representative.

Watts J ordered that Ms B Mynatt be appointed as Ms Mynatt’s case guardian. The court further directed that the matter be adjourned for a mention by telephone on 8 August 2019. Prior to this mention, Ms B Mynatt was required to file and serve any Amended Application for Final Orders and her supporting affidavit.
