A High Court judge has made interim orders aimed at protecting the business and personal finances of a man who suffered a brain injury following a heart attack in recent months.

The orders were sought in the context of an intended inquiry into whether the man, aged in his 50s, divorced, and the sole director of his business, should be made a ward of court based on concerns about his neurological recovery following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
