The Nearest Relative Handbook Zusammenfassung

The Nearest Relative Handbook David Hewitt

The role of nearest relative is complex and often misunderstood. This handbook offers an expert legal analysis of the role, the powers it carries and the limits of those powers.

When a person is subject to the Mental Health Act 1983, many of his or her principal rights are taken away. It is the function of the nearest relative to compensate for that loss. This very accessible book explains how the nearest relative is identified and what the role can involve, and it contains a wealth of case examples and illustrative scenarios. The book provides a succinct discussion of each significant case, and it incorporates all the very latest changes to the Mental Health Act and looks at areas where further changes might be made.

The Nearest Relative Handbook is the first full-length reference work to tackle this subject systematically and comprehensively. It will be an invaluable aid to those who find themselves in a professional relationship with a nearest relative, to those who are or wish to be a nearest relative, and to anyone needing to make sense of the relevant statutory provisions.

The Nearest Relative Handbook Bewertungen

There can hardly be a professional concerned with MeHA 1983 and its practical application in daily practice who will not benefit from having this book to hand and attempting to make the best fist of an area of the law which is so intimately connected with human behaviour in all its perverse manifestations. -- New Law Journal
Hewitt looks first at the development of the role of nearest relative, where it is now, the problems it presents and how these are likely to be resolved. The history sets in context the much larger central section of the book, which is a detailed tour, with worked examples, of the application of the statutory rules to the identification of the person who is the nearest relative. The rules are comprehensively worked through and the examples clear. -- Tony Eaton, Solicitor, Brent Community Law Centre
An excellent, comprehensive and thoughtful guide to the rights, powers, and duties of nearest relatives under the Mental Health Act. This is the definitive work on the subject.' -- Phil Fennell, Professor of Law, Cardiff Law School
This intelligent and comprehensive analysis is a welcome addition to the currently scant literature in this area. -- Journal of Mental Health Law
