520 _a"This leading textbook is aimed at lawyers, judges, health care practitioners and local authority professionals who have to deal with the most ethically challenging cases which face the courts: medical treatment decisions. It offers a practical, readily accessible text for those dealing with providing medical treatment to those without capacity in real life. The book provides not only a clear description of the legal principles applied by Court of Protection judges and the arguments deployed by the authors in the many Court of Protection cases in which they appear, but also a large number of precedents and appendices which will ease the preparation for court hearings (which are often heard as an emergency). Key developments include: - New Fertility Issues chapter -including contraception, sterilisation, and abortion - Chapter 13 changed from PVS/MCS to "Withdrawal of treatment" - the case law has widened on this - Discussion of "Escalation of Care" - the clinical question of whether treatment should be made available - covering matters including NICE guidelines and care pathways. Issues around availability of treatment on clinical grounds are increasing in case law - Expansion of Chapter 17 to cover the funding of treatment. - New chapter on mental health/compulsory treatment other than MHA 1983: there are a range of areas where people can be compelled to have treatment on public health grounds - such as the Coronavirus Act, but also quarantine laws, applications in the magistrates to compel treatment for infectious diseases such as TB, and vaccinations."--
