(1)In an application or any other proceedings under this Act, the sheriff may make such consequential or ancillary order, provision or direction as he considers appropriate.
(2)Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1) or to any other powers conferred by this Act, the sheriff may—
(a)make any order granted by him subject to such conditions and restrictions as appear to him to be appropriate;
(b)order that any reports relating to the person who is the subject of the application or proceedings be lodged with the court or that the person be assessed or interviewed and that a report of such assessment or interview be lodged;
(c)make such further inquiry or call for such further information as appears to him to be appropriate;
(d)make such interim order as appears to him to be appropriate pending the disposal of the application or proceedings.
(3)On an application by any person (including the adult himself) claiming an interest in the property, financial affairs or personal welfare of an adult, the sheriff may give such directions to any person exercising—
(a)functions conferred by this Act; or
(b)functions of a like nature conferred by the law of any country,
as to the exercise of those functions and the taking of decisions or action in relation to the adult as appear to him to be appropriate.
(4)In an application or any other proceedings under this Act, the sheriff—
(a)shall consider whether it is necessary to appoint a person for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the person who is the subject of the application or proceedings; and
(b)without prejudice to any existing power to appoint a person to represent the interests of the person who is the subject of the application or proceedings may, if he thinks fit, appoint a person to act for the purpose specified in paragraph (a).
(5)Safeguarding the interests of a person shall, for the purposes of subsection (4), include conveying his views so far as they are ascertainable to the sheriff; but if the sheriff considers that it is inappropriate that a person appointed to safeguard the interests of another under this section should also convey that other’s views to the sheriff, the sheriff may appoint another person for that latter purpose only.

(6)The sheriff may, on an application by—
(a)the person authorised under the order;
(b)the adult; or
