Tim Spencer-Lane, 'Legal analysis: the Supreme Court's verdict on ordinary residence and mental health aftercare' (Community Care, 18/8/23)
Worcestershire decision summarised This article summarises the Worcestershire decision and notes: (1) the Supreme Court's comments on ordinary residence (to the effect that any best interests decision to place a person in an area means that the person has voluntarily adopted that residence and is hence ordinarily resident there) were obiter but could lead to confusion and further legal challenges; (2) the draft MH Bill included provisions that (if enacted) would insert the deeming rules from the Children Act 1989 and Care Act 2014 into section 117, and so reverse part of the court's decision.
