News from last week: the High Court protects a woman with capacity whose choice to fly back to her family was overborne by threats; the last DoLS figures before AGNI; and a plan to let parents reach Child Trust Funds without the Court of Protection. See https://t.co/jpxXigwnf8

Hello @HMCTSgovuk Is there an Open Justice Champion or someone who can help please?

I've asked for the link for the hybrid hearing "in open court" in RCJ today before Henke J, listed to start at 10.30am, i.e. right now. I've not received it.

No transparency in COP today?

@Katie_Cronin This is great advice for Criminal proceedings. If you're interested in Court of Protection hearings, where judges make decisions for people with learning disabilities, dementia, acquired brain injuries and others deemed to lack capacity, check us out. https://t.co/wGfUMLuEV4

The Bar Council Board's code of conduct has core duties to act with "honesty & integrity" & to not "behave in a way which is likely to diminish the trust & confidence which the public places in you or in the profession".

This includes "seriously offensive conduct towards others"
