(1) Proceedings under
this Part, whether commenced by originating summons, application under
section 8A of this Act or on the court's own initiative under that
section shall remain open for application to be made therein from time to time
to the court by the manager, or the protected person, or the Public Trustee,
or by any relation of the protected person or by any person interested in the
protected estate. After such notice or service as the court thinks fit to
direct, any person may be made party to the proceedings generally or in any
particular matter, and the court may grant and enforce against such party in
matters relating to the protected person or the protected estate all
judgments, orders, costs, and remedies, including injunction and mandamus, as
the court might grant and enforce in any action against such party on the
application of the protected person or of the manager: Provided that if such
party requires that an issue or issues of fact be stated and tried by the
court, the court may direct that an issue or issues of fact be stated and
tried, as between the manager in the names of the protected person and such
party, by the court as upon the trial of an ordinary action or that the issue
or issues of fact be stated and tried, as between the manager in the names of
the protected person and such party, by the court in such other manner in
accordance with the general practice of the court as is deemed appropriate by
the court.
(2) Upon any
application to the court by the manager or the Public Trustee after the making
of the protection order, it shall be necessary to serve with notice of the
application only such persons or parties (if any) as the court on the
application requires to have notice thereof.
(3) The court may at
any time discharge any party made party to the proceedings.
