Elderly People and the Law 2nd ed

This book, acclaimed in its first edition, is thoroughly revised and updated by its author, the leading speaker on disability issues (and now Deputy Master of the Court of Protection) to consider much major legislation, including the Human Rights Act 1998, the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Care Standards Act 2000 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005, as well as more than 10 years of case law. All relevant areas of law are covered, including family, housing, community care, residential care, health care and financial matters, challenging the authorities and death. No other guide addresses the subject so completely and with such an experienced, practical and sympathetic approach to the legal and welfare issues relating to older people.
