Capacity, Protection, and Oversight in Scottish Personal Injury Cases: A Cross-Border Comparison
Our specialists offer information and guidance on strategy on issues such as capacity, best interests, DOLS, property and affairs, health and welfare and vulnerable witnesses as well as the involvement of deputies, local authorities and professional trustees in the context of catastrophic injury claims.
The team also analyses and interprets decisions made by the Court of Protection where relevant to these issues. Our objectives are to educate and arm those dealing with claims so they know what they should and should not do when Court of Protection becomes involved as well as encourage a more open approach to the sharing of evidence between it and the Kings Bench Division.
