39 Essex Street, 'Mental Capacity Law Newsletter' (issue 38, October 2013)
Mental capacity law newsletter "Welcome to the October issue of the newsletter. It is significantly shorter than the previous couple of bumper editions: indeed, there has been only one Court of Protection decision of note that has come to our attention, the medical treatment in M and K. We do, however, make mention of the important judicial review decision in Moosa (relating to funding of family members in CoP proceedings), and take this opportunity to pull together some pointers from recent decisions relating to children that are of relevance to practice and procedure before the Court of Protection." The cases mentioned in this issue are: An NHS Foundation Trust v M and K [2013] EWHC 2402 (COP), [2013] MHLO 67 — R (Moosa) v LSC [2013] EWHC 2804 (Admin), [2013] MHLO 90 — Re B-S (Children) [2013] EWCA Civ 1146B — Re A (Children) [2013] UKSC 60B. There is also information under the following headings: (a) Changes to test for eligibility for fee remission; (b) The MCA/MHA Interface in practice; (c) What do Part 8 reviews under the DoLS regime actually do? (d) Improving DoLS practice - one regional group’s experience
