The Court of Protection In 2021

In the second calendar year of the pandemic, Covid-19 has been a recurrent theme in Court of Protection cases but there have been many other notable decisions, and developments which are summarised below:

In the next year, we will expect more cases relating to Covid-19 and several themes are recurring, such as contact with protected parties in care homes, the reliability of remote capacity assessments, deprivations of liberty during the pandemic and of course, vaccinations. We expect also to see the Liberty Protection Safeguards come into force in April 2022.
