Kings Chambers Court of Protection Health and Wellbeing barristers include leading national experts in mental capacity and mental health law in all levels of seniority. Our barristers not only practise in the courts and tribunals but are also well-known authors and teachers in their areas of expertise.
Health and welfare and Mental Health Act:
We act for local authorities, NHS trusts, CCGs, patients, litigation friends (often the Official Solicitor or advocates) at all levels in the Court of Protection. Our barristers have been concerned in many of the most significant cases in this jurisdiction in recent years. We bring to this work experience in other closely related areas, such as judicial review, community care, family and clinical negligence and personal injury law. We give clear and prompt advice at an early stage, which often prevents unnecessary or wasteful proceedings later on. We offer considerable expertise in the Mental Health Act in cases involving restricted and non-restricted patients, in the First-Tier and Upper Tribunals, as well as in the ordinary courts in public law challenges, including habeas corpus, damages claims for unlawful detention, and nearest relative displacements.
For more information on our experience or to discuss a particular case, please contact us.
