Chancery (Ireland) Act, 1867

Discharge of order to appoint special guardian of an infant, if made without notice to guardian.

116. In any case in which any such order as aforesaid shall have been made by the Court in the matter of any infant without notice to the guardian of the infant, it shall be lawful for the said Court, if it shall think fit so to do, to discharge such order, upon the application of such guardian, by motion or petition; and the Court, if it shall think fit, may thereupon appoint some other fit person to be the special guardian of such infant for the purpose of such special case, and may also give such directions as may be necessary for substituting in such special case either the name of the guardian so applying, or of the special guardian so appointed, in lieu of the name of the special guardian so displaced: Provided always, that the discharge of any order appointing a special guardian shall not invalidate anything which shall in the meantime have been done by such special guardian, unless the Court shall, upon notice to all parties, specially so direct.
