(cf 1919 No 6, s 163E (4))

The Supreme Court may, on the application of a principal under a power of attorney, confirm (whether in whole or in part) any power to do an act under the power of attorney that was beyond the understanding of the principal through mental incapacity at the time the power was given to the extent that it appears to the Court that:

(a) the principal has affirmed the power before or during the proceedings on the application, and

(b) the principal had sufficient mental capacity to affirm the power at the time the affirmation was made.
