A refresher on LPAs - and their revocation - for Local Authorities

In this webinar, Amrita Hurst was joined by Matthew Wyard of 39 Essex Chambers.

Matthew gave a brief refresher of what an LPA is before exploring some key considerations local authorities should be aware of when dealing with those who have LPAs, but lack capacity. 

Matthew then looked at possible routes to revoke LPAs and the evidence required if the Local Authority chooses to make an application to Court.

Amrita covered a recent case study demonstrating the revocation of LPAs where attorneys failed to act in the doners best interests, reinforcing key duties under the Mental Health Capacity Act 2005.
