The Cheshire West judgment introduces significant ambiguity regarding statutory compliance, duty of care, and legal exposure, particularly concerning individuals who may no longer meet the revised threshold for deprivation of liberty.

Why this matters now

The decision requires the immediate consideration of operational adjustments to address the following urgent questions:

  • Validity of Existing Authorisations: Can practitioners continue to lawfully rely on current standard authorisations?
  • Pending Reviews: What is the legal status of individuals currently awaiting assessments, or who are the subject of requests for reviews or further standard authorisations?
  • Statutory Gaps: How should Supervisory Bodies and Managing Authorities continue to protect the legal rights and safeguard those individuals who will now fall outside of the scope of DoLS?
  • Threshold Shifts: What does this mean for individuals living in their own homes, or supported accommodation who had before now been considered to be deprived of their liberty?

What to expect

In just 30 minutes, we’ll give you a practical analysis of:

  • The Supreme Court’s decision and its key implications
  • The impact on the current DoLS framework
