45—Reporting by Public Trustee

        (1)         If the Public Trustee is the administrator of a protected person's estate, the Public Trustee must, at intervals determined by the Tribunal, furnish the Tribunal with a statement of the accounts of the estate, showing—

            (a)         the assets and liabilities of the estate; and

            (b)         the income and expenditure of the estate over a specified period; and

            (c)         such other particulars relating to the estate as the Tribunal may require.

        (2)         The Tribunal may, by notice in writing addressed to the Public Trustee, disallow any item of expenditure shown in the statement of accounts if the Tribunal is satisfied that the Public Trustee, in making the expenditure, had not acted with reasonable care in the exercise of powers as an administrator.

        (3)         Where the Tribunal disallows an item of expenditure pursuant to subsection (2), the Crown is liable to the protected person for the amount of the expenditure.

        (4)         The Tribunal must allow the protected person or, if the protected person does not, in the opinion of the Tribunal, have the mental capacity to comprehend the contents, such other person or persons as the Tribunal thinks appropriate, to have access to and to take a copy of a statement of accounts furnished under this section.
