Court of Protection
Theresa’s background in complex public law Children Act proceedings - including the application of Deprivation of Liberty to children in local authority care - in which she regularly represents clients via the Official Solicitor, has led to a natural progression of her practice into health and welfare Court of Protection proceedings.
This is also the case where clients and/or witnesses have additional needs and vulnerabilities, an area in which Theresa is highly experienced.
Theresa is also very experienced in cases where there is conflicting capacity evidence including fluctuating capacity, together with cases involving declarations in respect of both capacity and best interests.
