@GKMedLaw You're absolutely right, Gavin. Apologies to our colleagues in Wales, and their vital contributions to the project, for this careless oversight.

@judgingvalues 'English mental capacity law'? Not sure your Cardiff University colleagues would appreciate forgetting about Wales.

We are pleased to announce that our main empirical paper is now published, open access. We show how, from the legal practitioner perspective, courtroom practice & judicial adjudication in English mental capacity law is fundamentally ‘human’ in character cambridge.org/core/journals/…
