The new edition (January) of our MHA & MCA case law sheet is now available. It provides examples of recent case law involving people detained under the Mental Health Act and the use of the Mental Capacity Act at the same time. The cases highlight how the MCA could and should be used while a person is subject to the Mental Health Act. Cases include:
Surgery
Covert medication
Pregnancy and caesarian section
Restricting contact with others
Anorexia nervosa
Religious delusions
Leave of absence and DoLS

All cases have links to the full judgments. Download the pdf from here.
