Revision as of 18:56, 3 January 2007
An internet resource on mental health law in England & Wales, primarily for mental health practitioners, to which anyone can contribute.
There are currently three embryonic sections to this website which hopefully, given time, will develop into the following:
| Caselaw | Legislation | 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.) | A simple and up-to-date commentary on the Mental Health Act 1983 and related legislation. | General articles to explain the concepts and terminology used in the caselaw and legislation sections; and practical guidance for lawyers | ||
| Progress: A number of cases have been categorised and summarised. The main effort in 2007 will be to develop this section. | Progress: Currently the only free & fully-amended source of the Mental Health Act 1983 and related legislation. Brief commentary on some of the sections. | Progress: Explanations of the most common terms, and some useful resources for lawyers. |
