Court of Protection handbook: a user’s guide

The book provides an overview of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Court of Protection, before turning to a step-by-step guide through the processes of preparing and making an application, funding and representation issues, preparing for and appearing at hearings, evidence, costs, enforcement and appeals. Also, on this site, are links to relevant statutory materials, other guidance, useful (free) web resources, and updates on practice and procedure before the Court of Protection. The updates take the form of blog posts on the site and also (where relevant) updates are cross-referenced to the relevant paragraphs in the book.
