POWERS OF ATTORNEY ACT 2003 - SECT 33

33 Reviewable powers of attorney

(cf 1919 No 6, s 163G (1))

(1) A power of attorney is a
"reviewable power of attorney" for the purposes of an application under this Division if the review tribunal to which the application is to be made has jurisdiction to deal with the application as provided by this section.

(2) Both the Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Supreme Court have jurisdiction to deal with an application under this Division in respect of an enduring power of attorney (including a revocation of an enduring power of attorney).

(3) The Supreme Court (but not the Civil and Administrative Tribunal) also has jurisdiction to deal with an application under this Division in respect of any other power of attorney given by a principal who is incommunicate for the time being.

(4) To remove any doubt, references in this Division to a reviewable power of attorney extend to a document purporting to be a reviewable power of attorney and to the making or revocation of a power of attorney extend to the purported making or revocation of a power of attorney.
