The first quarterly update to the 5th Edition of the Court of Protection Handbook is now available on the Handbook website.
A reminder also of the training event to be held on 4 February 2026, at which our expert panel Alex Ruck Keene KC (Hon), Sophy Miles, Laura Mannering, and Kate Edwards will guide you through a 90-minute session offering practical guidance on three critical areas for practitioners:
- Closed Materials Guidance – Understanding its scope and application.
- A Deputy’s Role and Recent Case Law – The implications of Riddle v NA [2025] EWCOP 39 (T3) and what it means for deputies.
- Enforcing COP Orders – Managing enforcement challenges, including police involvement and forced entry.
The session will end with an interactive Q&A session.
Designed for those working in the Court of Protection, this session is designed to keep you ahead of the curve and demonstrate how the Handbook continues to evolve between editions.
To book, please see here (note that this is not a free event – apologies for the previous suggestion that it was, although delegates will also receive a code for 10% off the book so…)
