If you feel that someone does not have the ability, you should talk to the person concerned (social worker, NPC, psychiatrist or family doctor) and ask for their help in solving this problem. When discussing with other experts, it is important to be aware of the capacity issues that you need to solve. Inevitably, there will be the question of whether the proposed defendant is in a position to conduct and manage litigation. If you are thinking of an injunction or possession order (remember the Court`s discretion to suspend a possession order if you are applying for non-binding reasons), you also need to know whether that person can understand, comply with and maintain prohibitions in a court order. (ii) to refuse to cancel the lease of their accommodation and to live with ABC under the terms of the current OTC. I came to the same conclusion and added my point of view to the article above. I do not think that s.53 LPA should be taken into account, since Mark J. rightly realizes that it is not necessary for a lease to be written. The position of trust was what I envisioned – on the model of Alexander-David vs. LB Hammersmith – Fulham, but it can`t happen, neither the ban on renting as an AST, nor the difficulty of housing allowances. In all other cases, mental capacity is not a reason for the cancellation of a contract, unless the other party is aware of the incapacity to work (Imperial Loan Co/Stone [1892] 1 QB 599. If the other party`s incapacity to work is not known, the contract can only be revoked if it is an unacceptable good deal. The justification seems to be the existence of a just jurisdiction to set aside „a reckless agreement with a poor and ignorant person“ (Cresswell/Potter [1978] 1 WLR 255.
When you take legal action against a person, it is essential that you make sure they have abilities. When a person is unable to do so, steps must be taken to ensure that they are properly represented. The common law and justice position arising from the Privy Council`s decision in Hart/O`Connor is that a contract with someone who is unable to enter into such a contract is null and void for the person who is unable to do so if the other party is aware of his or her lack of capacity. Finally, it should be noted that Batten District Judge considered this to be one of the unusual cases identified by Munby J (as at the time) at Sheffield City Council/E [2005] 2 WLR 953 in which a person may be lacking in in-kind abilities while still tried. Perhaps it is worth the complete reproduction of the corresponding paragraphs, as they are such a clear example of an approach that allows maximum participation of P. If you know that there is already a power of attorney or a substitute, this should be your starting point. A word of caution here – there may be a few former MPs (before the law comes into force) where they will not have enough authority to sign the agreement. If not, you should go to the Tribunal to obtain the necessary order to sign or abandon the lease. In the past, I have been asked where an application was made in the wrong form or whether it did not contain the necessary information. This resulted in unnecessary delays and other obstacles to the procedure before the owner was able to secure the order.
