09/07/2025 Hempsons - Did you know: All about the Court of Protection
Welcome to the latest edition of ‘Did You Know?’, Hempsons’ publication designed to keep you informed about the latest legal developments, legislation, and noteworthy case law across our sectors.
In this edition, we shine a spotlight on the complexities of mental capacity and the Court of Protection.
From the nuances of fluctuating capacity to the scope of s.21A applications and s.49 reports under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, our advisory team explores key developments and practical considerations. We also examine the shift in approach to anonymity in treatment cases and the scenario where even agreed home care arrangements may require an order from the Court of Protection.
