The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books
covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. They offer
expert commentary by leading names on the effects, extent and scope
of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. The guides
provide a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are
the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to
speed with the latest changes.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 came into force in stages from April
2007 and will be implemented in full on 1 October 2007. The Act
impacts on approximately 2 million people. It introduced new
decision-making mechanisms which allow financial, welfare and
healthcare decisions to be taken on behalf of persons lacking the
mental capacity to make such decisions such as the making of
advance refusals of treatment (a form of living will); and the
creation of lasting powers of attorney, so allowing the appointee
to make decisions on finance, health and welfare after the donor
has become incompetent to make the decisions themselves.
The new edition of this popular Guide has been thoroughly updated
to take account of the impact of the Mental Health Act 2007, new
Codes of Practice to the MCA 2005, and new Court of Protection
Rules. It has expanded analysis of the issues which arose in the
Bournewood decision. It provides a clear and comprehensive guide to
the scope and implications of Mental Capacity legislation and
advice on how to ensure best practice.
This portable guide contains a copy of the Act, the Code of
Practice, and Regulations regarding Lasting Powers of Attorney and
the Court Rules for the Court of Protection. This is an invaluable
resource for alllawyers and professionals working in this complex
area.
