s 61Temporary provision for maintenance

If it appears to the Court that —

(a)

the incapability of a mentally disordered person to manage himself and his affair is temporary in nature; and

(b)

it is expedient to make temporary provision for the maintenance of the mentally disordered person or his family, the Court may, in like manner as under section 60, direct that his property or a sufficient part of the property be applied for that purpose.
