Which body decides a dissatisfied application under this provision, and what may it do with the application once it has considered it?

General information · Not legal advice

Material to check

In a practice file we would read the application itself, showing who filed it and what disposition was sought from the district head, the papers the district head held on the underlying matter, and any proof of service recording delivery of the ruling to both the district head and the applicant.

These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.

Where readings differ

One reading takes the provision's allocation of power at face value: the family court is the body that acts, it acts on an application, it dismisses that application where it is unfounded, and where the application is founded it must order the mayor, county or town head to take an appropriate disposition.

Another reading marks the reach of the provision as narrow, since it governs only the court's ruling and its delivery to the district head and the applicant, while what counts as an appropriate disposition, and what the family court may examine before finding the application founded, the provision leaves open.

Your judgment

How could a file show what would count as an appropriate disposition by the district head, when the provision does not define it?

PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.

When to reconsider

We look at this again if the provision is amended to set criteria for the appropriate disposition or who may apply, or if a court decision explains what the family court may examine in finding an application founded.
