112: Order may be made on court’s own motion or on application

You could also call this:

“The court can decide on its own or be asked to make a decision about a minor's property”

The court can make an order under section 111 in two ways. It can decide to make the order on its own, or someone can ask the court to make the order. If someone asks for the order, it can be:

You, if you are a minor (someone under 18 years old).

The trustee, who is a person looking after money or property for you.

Anyone else who can show the court a good reason why they should be allowed to ask for the order.
