82 Resignation of attorney while principal has impaired capacity

(1) Despite section 72 , while a principal has impaired capacity for a matter, an attorney under an enduring document may only resign as attorney for the matter with the court’s leave.

(2) If the court gives leave for an attorney to resign for a matter, the court may appoint a new attorney to replace the attorney for the matter.

Note—

The court is not limited to appointing an
"eligible attorney" (defined in section 29 ) as the new attorney.
