Re HM: SM v HM [2011] EWHC B30 (COP)

(Redirected from Re HM; SM v HM (2011) COP 11875043 4/11/11)

'The issue is whether it is ever, and if so in what circumstances, appropriate for the Court (ie the Court of Protection) to authorise the creation of a trust – in particular a personal injury trust - of P’s assets as the means of administering those assets for him, rather than appointing a deputy for him under s 16 of the 2005 Act.'
