The June 2026 Mental Capacity Report is now out. Highlights this month include:

- In the Property and Affairs Report: the SCCO and costs where P has died or regained capacity, and can you lie as to your own capacity;
- In the Practice and Procedure Report: the Court of Appeal resets transparency;
- In the Mental Health Matters Report: nearest relative resources and 20 years of Mental Health Law Online;
- In the Children’s Capacity Report: overseeing consent;
- In the Wider Context Report: well-being and wishes, and capacity and divorce;
- In the Scotland Report: Scottish reactions to AGNI.
The screen-friendly version can be found here, and the print-friendly version here.
Nyasha Weinberg’s practice having taken in a new direction, we say a farewell and thank you to her this issue; we are, however, delighted to welcome Alex Cisneros to the team.
A reminder that that whilst Chambers have launched a new and zippy version of our website which may look unfamiliar, all the content that you might need – our Reports, our case-law summaries, and our guidance notes – can still be found via here.
You can find our past issues, our case summaries, and more on our dedicated sub-site here, where you can also sign up to the Mental Capacity Report.
