Synopsis

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 is an extraordinarily wide-reaching piece of legislation: any of us at any time could find ourselves incapable of taking decisions about our health, our welfare, or our finances. The Court of Protection, the specialist court established by the MCA 2005 as the ultimate decision-maker in relation to those lacking capacity to take such decisions, is, in consequence a court with a very wide reach. Court of Protection Handbook: a user's guide is the first book to address in detail the practice and processes of the Court of Protection - across the whole range of its work - in terms that are aimed not solely at lawyers but also to the increasing numbers of people who either by choice or otherwise are involved in proceedings before the Court of Protection without legal help. The book provides an overview of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Court of Protection, before turning to a step-by-step guide through the processes of preparing and making an application, funding and representation issues, preparing for and appearing at hearings, evidence, costs, enforcement and appeals. Court of Protection Handbook: a user's guide is essential reading for lawyers, advisers, litigants in person and all users of the Court of Protection.
