Commencement Update for Practitioners
The Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act (ADMC) 2015 is finally due to commence on 26 April 2023 and on this session we will be joined by our expert colleague Margaret Walsh to review the final form of the legislation as it is due to commence and what the new regime will look like for practitioners. In particular, we will look at:
- The new categories of capacity and how these will operate.
- The implications for Court applications to deal with the transition from wardship (and the implications for judicial and Courts services resources).
- What we know (and don’t know) about what the new system is going to look like and how it is all going to work.
- Enduring Powers of Attorney and what practitioners should be doing now and how this is likely to change following commencement.
This episode will qualify for 1 hour of General CPD by e-Learning and will be essential viewing.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions Live on the call, however, a replay will also be made available once the webinar has finished to rewatch at your convenience.
Please do join us at 1pm on Thursday, 23rd March 2023 for what will be a very informative and important update.
