POWERS OF ATTORNEY ACT 2003 - SECT 37

37 Review tribunal may treat certain applications for review of power of attorney as application for management order

(1) If, on a review of the making or operation and effect of a reviewable power of attorney under section 36, the Guardianship Tribunal decides not to make an order under that section in respect of the power of attorney, it may (if it considers it appropriate in all the circumstances to do so) decide to treat the application for the review as an application for a financial management order under Part 3A (Financial management) of the Guardianship Act 1987 .

(2) If such a decision is made, the application is taken to be an application for such a financial management order duly made in respect of the principal under that power.

(3) If, on a review of the making or operation and effect of a reviewable power of attorney under section 36, the Supreme Court decides not to make an order under that section in respect of the power of attorney, it may (if it considers it appropriate in all the circumstances to do so) proceed instead as if an application for a declaration and order under section 41 of the NSW Trustee and Guardian Act 2009 had been duly made in respect of the principal under that power.
