Re McGrath [1893]
Key Points:
• Meaning of ‘Welfare':
◦ The term "welfare" should be interpreted in its broadest sense.
◦ There is no specific definition of "welfare" provided in the legislation. Instead, the concept is understood through a list of relevant factors that help determine its scope.
Implications:
• Broad Interpretation:
◦ The wide interpretation allows for a comprehensive consideration of various aspects impacting an individual's well-being, ensuring a more holistic approach in legal assessments related to welfare.
