Description
This text sets out how the law protects adults from coercive control, to give an understanding of coercive and controlling behaviour, and how adults with mental disabilities are susceptible to becoming victims; setting out
cases in the Court of Protection and under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, and the remedies available in those jurisdictions; and the skillsets that lawyers should deploy when representing parties in these cases.
With its practical approach on the challenges faced, how to conduct proceedings and the available remedies, the work sets itself apart and fills the gap for a much needed text on this difficult and complex area of the law.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.
