There are also important chapters on advocacy, children and human rights issues, as well as extensive appendices which provide access to the 1983 Act itself, important rules and regulations, and a summary of key cases. This Fifth Edition includes: - Practical advice and checklists for working with the Act. - An updated text of the Mental Health Act and relevant Rules and Regulations. - Recent case law including the Devon judgment on Mental Health Act assessments. - A summary of the Human Rights Act 1998. - Guidance on the interface between the Mental Health Act and the Mental Capacity Act. - Recent case law concerning the ‘relevant information’ when assessing for incapacity. | ||
