Mental capacity and clinical negligence – Recent developments, practical issues and traps for the unwary – Exchange Chambers
‘With the blessing (or occasional curse) of a slightly unusual practice, litigating a mix of neurologically orientated trauma and clinical negligence claims whilst maintaining a complimentary practice in the Court of Protection, I have encountered lots of odd, interesting and unexpected mental capacity issues. Professional experience and reported cases suggest that identifying and successfully managing such issues can present particular challenges for the clinical negligence practitioner. This article is intended to signpost some of those issues, and provide an aid memoir and practical guide for when you next encounter one.’
