The new (2025, 5th) edition of the Court of Protection Handbook is now available, and accompanying website has been updated (not least to reflect the new jazzy green cover). Amongst other delights are:
(1) an updated sample chapter (5) on whether making an application is appropriate;
(2) updated sample pre-issue letter, witness statement, position statement and letters of instruction to an independent social worker and an independent psychiatrist;
(3) a new sample letter of instruction to a psychiatrist asked to produce a s.49 report and guidance on how to complete a s.49 report;
(4) materials already appearing on the updates pages to reflect developments since the book was published;
(5) a bonus PD which had slipped apparently everyone’s knowledge about cases involving Welsh speakers.
