In this shedinar, I look at the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court as it relates to adults. This is a complicated area and I concentrate, in particular, on the situation where the person is at risk from others. For more guidance, and further discussion of the situation where the inherent jurisdiction might be considered where the sole risk appears to be that from the person themselves, see our Chambers guidance note on the inherent jurisdiction here.
Boring but necessary caveat: nothing in this constitutes legal advice.
