Questão jurídica principal
Whether the guardian could validly withdraw the appellant's appeal
Decisão extraída
Yes. The guardian, as legal representative, could withdraw the appeal; the withdrawal was binding on the appellant.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the disputed choice of place of care was not an absolutely personal right. A legally incapable person may be represented in such matters by a legal representative, and a pre-existing power of attorney could be revoked by that representative. The appellant's challenge to the guardianship and capacity findings did not change this result.
