ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
This guide to assessment of people with some sort of mental impairment is a broad ranging report produced by the British Medical Association and The Law Society. It is a statement on an important area and this second edition has been revised to bring it up-to-date with contemporary requirements.
USER REVIEWS
"Excellent insight as to how a person's mental capacity is assessed by both the legal and medical profession. Provides both legal points with relevant case law and a complete insight as to how the medical profession would assess mental capacity. For would be litigants it also provides a thorough insight into what the Court would seek in terms of evidence relating to mental capacity and the definition of mental illness under the Mental Health Act 1983. The responsiblity for assessing a person's mental capacity is a grey area but this book provides readers with the knowledge of who would owe such a person a responsibility and how they would carry out those duties"
