I was right. This 2nd edition, a decade later, is to be welcomed for several principal reasons...A full and authoritative exposition of mental health law...multi-dimensional coverage of an impressively wide range of topics. -- Adrian D Ward * The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *Table of ContentsPART 1: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Chapter 1 – The law in context Chapter 2 – Statutory framework Chapter 3 – Key organisations Chapter 4 – Supporting the service user PART 2: MEDICAL TREATMENT AND CARE Chapter 5 – Patients’ rights Chapter 6 – Care in hospital Chapter 7 – Consent to treatment Chapter 8 – Patients unable to consent Chapter 9 – Restraint, force and detention Chapter 10 – Preparing for future incapacity PART 3: THE USE OF COMPULSION Chapter 11 – Compulsory measures Chapter 12 – Short-term detention Chapter 13 – Emergency detention Chapter 14 – Compulsory treatment orders Chapter 15 – Compulsory treatment orders: reviews, appeals and suspension Chapter 16 – Medical treatment Chapter 17 – Rights of patients subject to orders Chapter 18 – Restrictions on detained patients Chapter 19 – Hospital transfers Chapter 20 – Breach of orders, unauthorised absences and offences Chapter 21 – Transitional arrangements PART 4: THE TRIBUNAL Chapter 22 – Representation at the tribunal Chapter 23 – Tribunal procedure PART 5: ADULTS WITH INCAPACITY Chapter 24 – Adults with Incapacity Act Chapter 25 – Authorising welfare decisions Chapter 26 – Financial management PART 6: CARE IN THE COMMUNITY Chapter 27 – Community care Chapter 28 – Duty to provide services Chapter 29 – Paying for care PART 7: PEOPLE AT RISK Chapter 30 – People at risk PART 8: THE IMPACT OF MENTAL DISORDER Chapter 31 – Personal life Chapter 32 – Housing Chapter 33 – Education and employment Chapter 34 – Consumer rights Chapter 35 – Civil rights and public life PART 9: DISCRIMINATION Chapter 36 – Protection against discrimination PART 10: PEOPLE WITH ADDITIONAL NEEDS Chapter 37 – Respect for diversity Chapter 38 – Issues for people with dementia Chapter 39 – People with learning disabilities Chapter 40 – Refugees and asylum seekers Chapter 41 – Children and young people PART 11: CARERS Chapter 42 – Carers PART 12: CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MENTAL DISORDER Chapter 43 – Criminal law and mental health Chapter 44 – Special measures for suspects and witnesses Chapter 45 – The criminal court process: from arrest to sentence Chapter 46 – The criminal court process: sentencing Chapter 47 – Care in prison and hospital transfers Chapter 48 – Impact of criminal justice orders and patients’ rights PART 13: CARE STANDARDS Chapter 49 – Health and care standards PART 14: WHEN THINGS GO WRONG Chapter 50 – Complaints Chapter 51 – Legal remedies Chapter 52 – Official enquiries APPENDICES Appendix 1 – European Convention on Human Rights Appendix 2 – UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol

Book SynopsisThis volume explores the relationship between law and economics principles and the promotion of social justice. By social justice, we mean a vision of society that embraces more than traditional economic efficiency. Such a vision might include, for example, a reduction of subordination and discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or class; increased wealth dispersion throughout all sectors of society; a safe and healthy environment; worker rights; and, a flourishing political democracy. The volume chapters here fall into four main categories, Assumptions of Law & Economics; Law & Economics: Implications of Behavioralism; Economics and Corporate Governance: Finding the Holes; and, Gender, Class and Race: Implications of and Alternatives to the Dominant Economic Paradigm. In addition, most of the chapters invoke the lens of corporate law theory or the corporate context as part of their analysis of the intersection of economics and social justice.Table of ContentsPreface. List of Contributors. Introduction. Economics as a map in law and market economy. An anatomy of corporate legal theory. The single constituency argument in the economic analysis of business law. Corporate law and the rhetoric of choice. Faith Based Investing: are shares entitled to the residual?. Corporate social responsibility: Lessons from the South on law and business norms. The discourse of “contract” and the law of marriage. Behavioral biology, the rational actor model, and the new feminist agenda. Race to the top of the corporate ladder: What minorities do when they get there. Workplace racial discrimination and the professionals at the center of corporate hierarchies. Research in law and economics: A journal of policy. Law & economics: Toward social justice. Copyright page.

Book SynopsisNow fully updated and with up-to-the-minute guidance, this is the only book you will need to make sense of the key elements of law involved in social work with children and families in England and Wales.Accessible and jargon-free, this everyday reference explains the fundamental concepts of parental responsibility and human rights, and the provisions of private and public law, including care proceedings and adoption. This second edition incorporates recent changes including the Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance for inter-agency working, the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Crime and Courts Act 2013 as well as the latest case law. Checklists, charts and highlighted points allow for easy reference, and illustrative case scenarios put the law into context.This comprehensive and easy-to-use guide will be an invaluable resource for practising social workers, as well as trainees, students and those studying for post-qualifying awards.Trade ReviewPraise for the second edition:'This book lives up to the high standards of the first edition, updated to take account of recent court judgments and the many changes to child and family legislation in England and Wales. Lynn Davis writes authoritatively and with crystal clarity. She explains the law helpfully, with direct relevance to real-life social work practice. The book is full of useful features such as key points for practice, readable summaries of court decisions, realistic and thought-provoking case studies and handy checklists. Every child and family team should have a copy in their office.' -- Dr Jonathan Dickens, School of Social Work, University of East AngliaThis is a stunningly good piece of work. Many whose work involves the law find it a horrible dark space, and practitioners can try to make do with a working knowledge or skirt around it - leading to unsafe work and poor practice. But here is a book that is friendly in tone and spot on with guidance that makes it all 'start to make sense'. You come away from Lynn's book wishing you could meet her. She is a wise presence who makes you feel you could venture out into this alien territory and her knowledge makes it all look easier than it is. With the destruction of legal advice services, we all need this knowledge now. It is the perfect overview with practical information and case-study snippets to help the reader to emerge with a real grasp of the legal system and its day-to-day implications and application. This should be manna for social workers, and it is also a great foundation stone for all of us involved with children and families. -- James Pirrie, Solicitor, Collaborative Lawyer, Arbitrator and Mediator, Family Law in Partnership, LondonChildren law and court proceedings are changing. The role of the social worker as an expert has been re-affirmed and clear, analysed and considered evidence from social workers is essential. We judges depend on social workers' professionalism and in my view it is vital for social workers to have an understanding of the law. No-one asks them to be lawyers but they must understand what the law is, its limitations and also the tests the court applies. This book is readable, practical and clear and allows the social worker to gain the essential knowledge they need to undertake their role in the court system. -- Christopher Simmonds- District Judge of the Principal Registry of the Family Division and Commissioner of the Judicial Appointments CommissionThis is an extremely timely publication with the onset of new legislation, revised statutory safeguarding guidance and significant changes to the family justice system. Davis declares that "the time is right for a newly confident social work profession to reclaim its rightful place in the court process.". Davis's coverage of the issues is both global yet intricate in her attention to detail and references to contemporary themes. An absolute must for social workers who want to be on the 'front foot' in their practice. -- Nushra Mansuri, Professional Officer, British Association of Social WorkersPraise for the first edition:'Social work practitioners and family lawyers will benefit from reading this work and gain even more from it if they are able to have a copy close to hand while at work.' -- Journal of Social Welfare & Family LawI highly recommend this book to students, newly qualified workers, frontline practitioners and their managers. It is a valuable tool to have in one's armoury for those involved in children and families social work. -- Children and Young People NowExceptional value for money. It covers the whole range of roles and responsibilities that local authorities address, and I have no doubt this content will assist all child care social workers acting as 'agents' of the local authority to practice efficiently, effectively and above all safely. I could go on - but go and buy the book and see for yourself. -- Professional Social WorkThis is a stunningly good piece of work.

Book SynopsisThis book examines immigration law from a gender perspective. It shows how immigration law situates gender conflicts outside the national order, projecting them onto non-western countries, exotic cultures, clandestine labour and criminal organizations. In doing so, immigration law sustains the illusion that gender conflicts have moved beyond the pale of European experience. In fact, the classical feminist themes of patriarchy, the gendered division of labour and sexual violence are still being played out at the heart of Europe's societies, involving both citizens and migrants.This collection of essays demonstrates how the seemingly marginal perspective of immigration law highlights Europe's unresolved gender conflicts and how a gender perspective can help us to rethink immigration law.Trade Review"This book provides a refreshing approach to issues relating to women subject to immigration law...it effectively confirms that immigration law can be rejuvenated through the feminist lens and shows how the experiences of migrant women can advance feminist thinking...This book deserves the attention of anyone interested in gender, law and migration." - Vanessa Bettinson and Alwyn Jones, Jounal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law, Vol 22, no 2.

Book SynopsisDrawing upon Foucauldian analyzes of governmentality, the authors contend that social housing must be understood according to a range of political rationalities that saturate current practice and policy. They critically address the practice of dividing social from private tenure; situating subjects such as the purpose and financing of social housing, the regulation of its providers and occupiers and its relationship to changing perceptions of private renting and owner-occupation, within the context of an argument that all housing tenures form part of an understanding of social housing. They also take up the ways in which social housing is regulated through the invocation and manipulation of obscure notions of housing ‘need’ and ‘affordability’, and finally, they consider how social housing has provided a focus for debates about sustainable communities and for concerns about anti-social behaviour. Regulating Social Housing provides a rich and insightful analysis that will be of value to legal scholars, criminologists and other social scientists with interests in housing, urban studies and contemporary forms of regulation.Trade Review"This important work epitomises the strengths of soci-legal research. It moves beyond a law-in-context approach, drawing on social theory to inform and elaborate upon interpretations of statute and case law and their implications for social housing." - Helen Carr, Kent Law School, University of Kent "The real strength of the book lies in the application of Cowan and McDermont's theoretical analysis to their chosen topics... Regulating Social Housing is admirably ambitious in its scope and will repay close reading by anyone who wants to further their understanding of current housing policies, regulation theory, or key arguments about the construction of social housing." - Sarah Blandy, Housing Studies 22:4 (July 2007) "The success of the book is in drawing out a number of themes through subject-specific chapters... There is much here that housing academics and the wider community of socio-legal scholars will find of value, and it is the sort of book that readers will find themselves referring back to, time and again." - Emma Laurie, Legal Studies Vol. 27 No. 2 (July 2007)Table of ContentsOn Social Housing, Decline, Regulation and Government.

Book Synopsis'Poor people get hit by cars too; they get evicted; they have their furniture repossessed; they can't pay their utility bills. But they do not have personal legal problems in the law school way. Nothing that happens to them breaks up or threatens to break up a settled and harmonious life. Poor people do not lead settled lives into which the law seldom intrudes; they are constantly involved with the law in its most intrusive forms. ... Poverty creates an abrasive interface with society; poor people are always bumping into sharp legal things. The law school model of personal legal problems, of solving them and returning the client to the smooth and orderly world in television advertisements, doesn't apply to poor people.' Stephen Wexler 'Practising Law for Poor People' The Yale Law Journal. Vol. 79: 1049, 1970. This book is concerned with the legal problems encountered by people whose lives are disadvantaged: disabled people, carers, homeless people, people on low incomes, people falling foul of immigration law ... it is a long list. People in this position often experience multiple and synchronous legal problems ('clustered problems') for which the traditional 'single issue' lawyering approach is ill equipped. Such people - to cite Stephen Wexler - 'do not lead settled lives into which the law seldom intrudes; they are constantly involved with the law in its most intrusive forms'. Their legal challenges don't come in single discrete packages (eg a personal injury claim, a house purchase, a divorce) but are multiple, interlinked and successional. No sooner has one problem been addressed than another is encountered. The research underpinning this work derives from a six-year study of the legal challenges experienced by disabled children and their families and of many more years trying (all too often unsuccessfully) to use the law to challenge the myriad social injustices that define the lot of those who live with disadvantage.

Book SynopsisThis book addresses key challenges and conflicts arising in extractive industries (mining, oil drilling) concerning the human rights of workers, their families, local communities and other stakeholders. Further, it analyses various instruments that have sought to mitigate human rights violations by defining transparency-related obligations and participation rights. These include the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), disclosure requirements, and free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). The book critically assesses these instruments, demonstrating that, in some cases, they produce unwanted effects. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of resistance to extractive industry projects as a response to human rights violations, and discusses how transparency, participation and resistance are interconnected.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part One: Transparency.- The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) as a Human Rights Instrument: Potentials and Shortcomings.- United States Law and Conflict Minerals.- The 2017 EU Conflict Minerals Regulation: A Promising European Rite to Remove the Natural Resource Curse?.- Community Development Agreements as Tools for Local Participation in Natural Resource Projects in Africa.- Stabilization Clauses and Human Rights: The Role of Transparency Initiatives.- Improving Tax Strategy Transparency in the Extractive Industries Sector for the Advancement of Human Rights.- Part II: Participation.- The Evolving Duty to Consult and Obtain Free Prior and Informed Consent of Indigenous Peoples for Extractive Projects in the United States and Canada.- Asserting the Principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in Sub-Saharan Africa in the Extractive Industry Sector.- The Corporate Responsibility to Respect Consultation Rights in the Americas: How the Inter-American System Can Better Promote Free, Prior, and Informed Consent.- Free, Prior, and Informed Consent in the Philippines: A Fourth World Critique.- Norm Contestation and (Non-)Compliance: The Right to Prior Consultation and FPIC in the Extractive Industries.- State-Investor Contracts and Human Rights: Taking a Critical Look at Transparency and Participation.- Disruption and Institutional Development: Corporate Standards and Practices on Responsible Mining.- Part III: Resistance.- Taking Sides in Scientific Research?

Book SynopsisThis book provides insights into the complex labour and social security framework of EU employment and its enforcement. Starting from an analysis of the various EU instruments and case law, it outlines the complicated legal framework, the practical problems involved, and ways to overcome them. In turn, the book puts the evolution of the framework into perspective, reviews the numerous modifications made over the years, and describes interpretation-related difficulties. Since the formation of the European Community 65 years ago, migration and the European labour market have evolved considerably through special patterns of (temporary) mobility such as postings, simultaneous work in several Member States and high mobility, thus leading to major questions about the applicable legal framework. The interplay between the free movement of persons and services has produced a complex system of rules. Which law applies when a person crosses a border: that of the host State (and to what extent should this State take into account the legal rules from the home State?) or that of the home State? Does the person crossing the border have any choice in the matter? The book subsequently analyses the penetration of EU (market) law into national systems of labour and social security law. The divergent solutions and views within labour and social security law are considered and discussed from a critical point of view. As the positive elements of the European story are at risk of being overshadowed by the negative consequences of the European construction – social dumping being the prime example – special attention is paid to the cooperation between inspection services and other stakeholders in order to guarantee efficient enforcement. The latter is more than just sanctioning, but also includes prevention and monitoring issues. The unique strength of this book is that it brings together all legal-technical aspects of cross-border employment and its enforcement in both labour law and social security law in a single volume. Readers will find a wealth of detailed and specialised information, helping them to understand the topic in depth. Accordingly, the book will be of interest to academics, practitioners, enforcement bodies, judiciary policymakers, advanced law students, and researchers seeking to understand the law in context.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- The EU and Social Rights and Market Competition: 65 years of History.- Cross-border Employment and Labour Law: The Legal Framework.- Cross-border Employment and Social Security: The Legal Framework.- The Other Side of the Coin: The Negative Consequences of the Internal Market.- Social Law Enforcement Across Borders: A Few Sticking Points and Reflections.- Conclusion.

Book SynopsisDas Arbeitsvertragsrecht setzt sich aus einer Vielzahl an nicht abgestimmten, zunehmend unionsrechtlich determinierten Einzelgesetzen zusammen. Doch ist es wirklich ein kunstvoll geordnetes Chaos, ein Irrgarten des Rechts, wie es der 59. Deutsche Juristentag mit den berühmten Worten Pufendorfs meinte? Oder sollte nicht besser das Wort Chaos durch Vielfalt ersetzt werden, in welcher sich schlicht die facettenreichen Fragestellungen einer immer komplexer werdenden Arbeitswelt widerspiegeln? Mit einigen aktuellen Thematiken - angefangen von der Kettenbefristung zur Vertretung, der internationalen Zuständigkeit im arbeitsgerichtlichen Beschlussverfahren, dem Anwendungsvorrang unionaler Grundrechte, über das Arbeiten nach Wunsch, dem neuen Beschäftigtendatenschutz bis hin zur Bedeutung des § 174 BGB - haben sich die Teilnehmer der 2. Arbeitsrechtlichen Assistententagung im Juli 2012 kritisch auseinandergesetzt.

Book SynopsisIm deutschen Recht entfalten Tarifnormen ihre unmittelbare und zwingende Wirkung zwar grundsätzlich nur zwischen den beiderseits Tarifgebundenen. Jedoch kennt dieser Grundsatz einige Ausnahmen. Teilweise erheben Tarifnormen bereits für sich genommen einen Geltungsanspruch über den Kreis der Verbandsmitglieder heraus, in anderen Fällen ordnet ein staatlicher Erstreckungsakt diese Wirkung an. Es stellt sich jeweils die Frage, wie weit die Freiheit der Außenseiter reicht, ihre Arbeitsbeziehungen in selbstbestimmter Wahrnehmung der eigenen Interessen zu gestalten. Felix Hartmann führt den Außenseiterschutz konsequent auf ein privatrechtlich-mandatarisches Grundverständnis der Tarifautonomie zurück. Er setzt sich dabei auch mit den Vorgaben des Europarechts und mit Tarifsystemen anderer mitgliedstaatlicher Rechtsordnungen auseinander. Auf diese Weise kommt er für eine Vielzahl von Praxisproblemen zu neuen Lösungen.

Book SynopsisBelgium and the Netherlands - the Low Countries - are the first countries in the world to have legalized euthanasia. Physicians who terminate life at the patient's request no longer have to fear criminal prosecution. However, end-of-life legislation in the Low Countries has provoked diverse responses and sparked vigorous and divisive ethical debate. For some, the new legislation has become a shining example; for others it is a lamentable materialization of a culture of death. A"Euthanasia and Palliative Care in the Low CountriesA" provides an overview and comparison of the legal specifics of the Belgian and Dutch Euthanasia Acts, a discussion of palliative care initiatives and an ethical examination of the new legislation. In addition, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the arguments used in the end-of-life debate and a critical examination of the positions taken by the churches. The book concludes with an overview of how Christian health-care institutions accommodate to this new legal situation.
