Regulation 7 Challenges to decisions affecting persons who lack capacity

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

This regulation applies where—

(a)

an IMCA has been instructed to represent a person (“P”) in relation to any matter, and

(b)

a decision affecting P (including a decision as to his capacity) is made in that matter.

(2)

The IMCA has the same rights to challenge the decision as he would have if he were a person (other than an IMCA) engaged in caring for P or interested in his welfare.
