Description
This text sets out how the law protects adults from coercive control, to give an understanding of:
1. coercive and controlling behaviour, and how adults with mental disabilities are susceptible to becoming victims;
2. cases in the Court of Protection and under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, and the remedies available in those jurisdictions; and
3. the skillsets that lawyers should deploy when representing one of the three parties in these cases: (a) the local authority, (b) the controlling person and (c) the victim.
It covers the challenges faced, how to conduct proceedings and the available remedies.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
