The April 2026 Mental Capacity Report. It takes a different form to normal as our (over) commitments means that we cannot do more than provide an overview of some key matters, with more to follow (where necessary) in May. We do, however, have a bumper Scotland Report to make up for the lack of such a Report last time – and we would, commend the Scotland report to readers from other jurisdictions as it contains both comparative matters of interest, and research of wider reach than just Scotland.
A reminder that we have updated our unofficial update to the MCA / DoLS Codes of Practice, available here, and that, whilst Chambers have launched a new and zippy version of our website, all the content that you might need – our Reports, our case-law summaries, and our guidance notes – can still be found via here.
The summary overview report is here.
The Scotland Report is here.
The screen-friendly compendium is here, and the print-friendly version here.
