Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust v C & Anor [2015] EWCOP 80

7/12/2015

 
​Whether a person requiring life-saving treatment lacked capacity to consent to have such treatment or not and accordingly whether the court could make orders under the Mental Capacity Act.

The court, guided by the principle that a capacitous individual is entitled to decide whether or not to accept medical treatment even such treatment to be life-saving, such an individual is sovereign over their own body and mind. PH v A Local Authority [2011] EWHC 1704   applied.

The hospital trust sought declarations under section 4A and 15 of the Mental Capacity Act that the trust and its staff be authorised to provide such medical care and treatment to the Patient C as they judge clinically indicated, to prevent C from leaving hospital without agreement and to use necessary and reasonable physical and/or chemical restraint for the purposes of giving effect to the declaration with respect to medical care and treatment.

The court only considered whether C did or did not lack the capacity to make the decision required.
