An internet resource on mental health law in England & Wales, primarily for mental health practitioners, to which anyone can contribute.

There are currently three sections to this website which it is hoped, given time and your contributions, will develop into the following:

1. Case law		2. Legislation		3. General information
Regularly updated commentaries on the cases, with links to the full text judgments on Bailii. (Bailii contains nearly every judgment, but no specific commentary.)		The full text of, and a simple and up-to-date commentary on, the Mental Health Act 1983, the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and related legislation.		General articles to explain the concepts and terminology used in the caselaw and legislation sections; and practical guidance for lawyers

Please try out the new Amazon Bookshop feature.

At the top of each page there is an 'Edit this page' option – just click on it, edit the page, then click 'Save'. See Help page for further details. Don't feel you're too good or too inexperienced to help - the only excuse is being too busy! :-)
