2e) ACT Guardianship and Management of Property Tribunal

The average time from hearing to delivery of decision is less than 3 months, however it is subject to medical evidence being available to the Tribunal.

There are currently no outstanding decisions.

3. How many part heard matters are there in each of these jurisdictions?

This answer to this question is difficult to complete, because intermediate figures are not collected by the Courts. Statistics are compiled on the basis that matters that are filed/lodged, heard, adjourned, remanded and/or adjudicated upon and finalised by the handing down of a decision.

Additionally to collect intermediate figures would be extremely difficult, having regard to the fact that there at least 15 different categories of "part-heards" for example CADAS, Griffith Bonds, case management processes, pre-sentencing reports, sentencing reports, assessments for suitability for Community Service Orders and DODA treatment orders. .

4. What is the age of the oldest part heard matter?

See the answer to question 1.

5. Which Magistrates have part heard matters and how many does each Magistrate have?

See answer to question 3.

6. How many statements of reason have been requested under section 108 of the Mental Health Legislation?

Mental Health Tribunal records indicate that 10 statement of reasons have been requested since the Tribunal commenced. Statement of reasons have been supplied in 9 of these matters, within the statutory timeframe of 28 days.

There has been one outstanding request, which exceeded the statutory timeframe and which has since been finalised.

7. What is the average time taken for delivery of those reasons?

The average time taken for delivery of those reasons is within the statutory timeframe of 28 days.
