Review and appeal

Review and appeal

A guardianship order can be reviewed either on the Guardianship Board’s own initiative, or upon request by any persons entitled to request a review. 

The MIP, the guardian, any other persons with a genuine interest in the MIP’s welfare (such as a relative) can request the Guardianship Board to review the guardianship order: Mental Health Ordinance, section 59U(4). 

Upon review, the Guardianship Board may:

1. Vary the guardianship order, such as appoint another guardian; 
2. Suspend or revoke the guardianship order; or 

3. Take no further action.
