In this ‘in conversation with,’ I talk to the lawyer and academic Dr János Fiala-Butora about his new book, Implementing the Right to Decide under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Supporting the Legal Capacity of All Persons with Disabilities (Hart, 2025). We think about the debates around legal capacity in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and discuss János’s innovative suggestions about how to move forward from a situation which appears to have become somewhat stuck.
My review of János’s book is here (from which you will see why I was quite so keen to talk to him!).
