Report comment

The House of Lords Committee appointed to consider and report on the Mental Capacity Act 2005 has now published its report. 2014.
.
Key findings: Lord Hardie, Chairman of the Committee said:
.
“We were very concerned by what we heard about the safeguards. The evidence suggests that tens of thousands of people are being deprived of their liberty without the protection of the law, and without the protection that Parliament intended. Worse still, in some cases the safeguards are being wilfully used to oppress individuals and to force decisions upon them. The Government needs to go back to the drawing board to draft replacement provisions that are easy to understand and implement, and in keeping with the style and ethos of the Mental Capacity Act.”

In my case 10 Boxes of Lever Arch Files were finally disclosed to me in October 2014 by solicitors, two years after a Court of Protection nominated Judge said that the files be sent to the Court of Protection in the first instance and an appeal filed.
.
Ten years after I was certified without a medical by a private psychristist the General Medical Council in 2014 release Court of Protection Medical Certificates. Eight years after a barrister wrote that I had been incapable of legal discussion for over a year the Royal Courts of Justice in 2014 release the barristers report. It appears that the rest of my file is now missing from the Queens Bench Division.

p.s. Thankfully an unknown person had sent me an entire copy of the Queens Bench Division files before they went missing.
