Description
The UK's Mental Capacity Act 2005 introduces a major overhaul of the law in this area. A key feature of the legislation is the provision of new powers for the UK's Court of Protection which enhance its pre-existing jurisdiction to manage a mentally incapacitated person's financial affairs. Additionally, matters of mental capacity and ability to give valid consent in respect of 'personal welfare' matters, including medical treatment, have become a discrete jurisdiction, with special courts (under the umbrella of the Court of Protection) adjudicating on topics such as Persistent Vegetative State cases and sterilization. The bulk of the new procedure, set out in rules of court and practice directions came into force in October 2007. Court of Protection Practice is a major new single-volume work, containing a detailed and authoritative guide to the enlarged jurisdiction in the UK.
