We are pleased to announce that our empirical paper that sets out how legal professionals understand and justify the effective participation of P in the CoP is now published in Journal of Law and Society. It is available open access here: doi.org/10.1111/jols.1…
At the Conference these issues were presented with great clarity by Dr Camillia Kong and the challenges were perceptively explored by Sir Mark Hedley: very impressive work by all the research team.
The Judging Values and Participation in Mental Capacity Law Project held its concluding Conference at the British Academy on Monday. It rightly questioned what values judges bring to decision making and how they ensure the meaningful participation of the Patient.
And ANNOUNCING our follow-on CPD video - 30 minutes of thought provoking discussion and demonstration "Making Values Matter in the Court of Protection" youtube.com/watch?v=IfSmzI…

@GKMedLaw You're absolutely right, Gavin. Apologies to our colleagues in Wales, and their vital contributions to the project, for this careless oversight.
We are pleased to announce that our main empirical paper is now published, open access. We show how, from the legal practitioner perspective, courtroom practice & judicial adjudication in English mental capacity law is fundamentally ‘human’ in character cambridge.org/core/journals/…
