Ms Angela Denning:

It is not that people will be left behind. For example, if there is not sufficient evidence or there is a dispute on the evidence, or whatever it might be, as to what arrangement is suitable for somebody and the court simply has not been able to make the order, the legislation does not direct us as to what is to happen then. That leaves the judge in a position where they do not know what to do. The legislation is clear that everybody should be, and is mandated to be, out by 26 April. However, we perceive situations where that might not be possible. That silence is of concern. At the end of day, there are wards of court and their committees trying to live their lives. We would like arrangements to be in place for people in order that they have certainty.
