With huge thanks to Arianna Kelly for editing this in my temporarily incapacitated state, and apologies that technical issues means that this has come out a bit late, the June report is now out. Highlights this month include:
- In the Health, Welfare and Deprivation of Liberty Report: the court is not a rubber stamp for clinicians and what does it mean to represent P’s interests;
- In the Property and Affairs Report: Professional Deputy Costs, and paying drug debts for P;
- In the Practice and Procedure Report: capacity to conduct proceedings and the costs of inadequate disclosure;
- In the Mental Health Matters Report: capacity to conduct Tribunal proceedings and the independent investigation into the care and treatment of Valdo Calocane;
- In the Children’s Capacity Report: looking at other options before using the inherent jurisdiction to authorize a deprivation of liberty;
- In the Wider Context Report: what happens if you never had litigation capacity and new books;
- In the Scotland Report: AWI reform and the UK Protocol on Judicial Cooperation.
