In England this area covers disputes and advice about detention under the Mental Health Act 1983, community treatment orders, capacity issues under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, advance decisions to refuse treatment and entitlement to aftercare under section 117. Solicitors draft and challenge applications for detention and compulsory treatment, represent clients at hospital managers’ hearings and at the First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health), apply for deputyship or lasting power of attorney, negotiate with NHS trusts and local authorities about care and discharge, and handle statutory reviews and judicial challenges through the courts. Cases turn on medical evidence, statutory criteria for detention or incapacity and discharge planning between health and social care bodies.
