Description

'Comprehensive but still compact, the Court of Protection Handbook has become an indispensable resource for practitioners, litigants in person, and professionals from the many disciplines involved in capacity issues.' Her Honour Judge Carolyn Hilder, Senior Judge of the Court of Protection, from her Foreword ‘[Court of Protection Handbook] should be in the hand of every practitioner and, more particularly, of every lay user of the Court of Protection.’ Sir James Munby, former President of the Court of Protection ‘[Court of Protection Handbook] is in a league of its own … It can truly be said this book is a further step in the COP’s revolution – with the court’s door now just a little more open.’ Richard Charlton, former President of the Mental Health Lawyers Association Court of Protection Handbook: a user’s guide addresses in detail the practice and processes of the Court of Protection – across the whole range of its work – in terms that are aimed not only at lawyers but also to the increasing numbers of people who either by choice or otherwise are involved in proceedings before the Court of Protection without legal help. Newly updated for 2025, the book provides an authoritative overview of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Court of Protection, before turning to a step-by-step guide through the processes of making an application, funding and representation issues, preparing for and appearing at hearings, evidence, costs, enforcement and appeals. Specific areas such as medical treatment cases and those concerning deprivation of liberty get their own, dedicated, chapters. New for this edition are two chapters on the interaction between the Court of Protection and the family courts, and the intersection between the Court of Protection and the criminal courts. Court of Protection Handbook is comprehensive yet accessible. Complex issues are explained clearly and succinctly with the helpful use of tables and diagrams. The main text is supported by a wealth of supplementary materials: legislation, guidance, sample statements and letters and useful addresses. All these resources, and more, can be found at courtofprotectionhandbook.com along with invaluable updates on practice and procedure.
