Supporting Legal Capacity in Socio-Legal Context (Ed. Mary Donnelly, Rosie Harding and Ezgi Tascioglu)

Donnelly, Mary; Harding, Rosie ; Tascioglu, Ezgi

Abstract

This collection brings together leading international socio-legal and medico-legal scholars to explore the dilemma of how to support legal capacity in theory and practice. Traditionally, decisions for persons found to lack capacity are made by others, generally without reference to the person, and this applies especially to those with cognitive and psycho-social disabilities. This book examines the difficulties in establishing effective and deliverable supported decision-making, concluding that approaches to capacity need to be informed by a grounded understanding of how it operates in 'real life' contexts.
