Overlapping problems in Court of Protection & First-Tier Tribunal (Mental Health) - 6 July 2021

This seminar will address the difficult, and increasingly common, issues relating to psychiatric patients detained under s 37/41 MHA 1983 who might be conditionally discharged or those detained under s 3 MHA 1983 ready for discharge or leave or a CTO but who lack capacity to make decisions about where to live and receive care and also may require a placement depriving them of their liberty. We will examine the interface between the First-Tier Tribunal (Mental Health) and the Court of Protection, and provision of section 117 aftercare and social care by local authorities and health authorities and potential problems with Legal Aid funding
This seminar will be of interest to Mental Health, Court of Protection and Criminal Justice practitioners.
This webinar is brought to you by the Garden Court Chambers Civil Liberties and Human Rights Team and the Garden Court Chambers Court of Protection Team.
