I understand that you are stressed and feel you are fighting the system but I don't think you're going to get very far by slagging off the COP who, frankly, do a difficult job under difficult circumstances.
I have reread your previous posts: are you saying that the COP did appoint someone as a deputy for your friend? And if so, was that deputy given authorization for health and welfare decision (unusual). If not, they cannot force her into a care home.
Thanks for your kind reply. The CoP do a difficult job but have been given too much power to ignore basic human rights, particularly the fifth, so that if P's funds are taken over and she cannot pay the rent in France where will she go, French care home?? English care home?? must ask deputies everytime she fancies taking a trip to visit her many friends in Australia or China or USA? Well, obviously I'll continue to look after her but my days are numbered and my memory is going and she is a highly intelligent and very determined and scared 90 year old WWII veteran with a worsening memory and has the strength of character to a jump out of a high window if she feels imprisoned, of course I'm just a little stressed out.
Anyway.
Deputies not yet appointed. Original surreptitious deputy application made January 2014 rejected by court after we proved that P is resident in France. In 2014 attorneys tried twice to register Certified Copy of EPA that P had instructed her ex solicitor to replace in 2006 but who did not get P to formally revoke old EPA, intentionly laying a trap. Not sure why but second registration attempt was not completed, probably because ex-solicitor would have had to commit perjury to explain what happened to the original EPA document. In July 2014 in an attempt to get proof that P lacks capacity ex solicitor got court to order a expert-witness examination of P's English medical record with Alzheimers diagnosis. It appears that the court then accepted that this was not conclusive proof of lack of capacity. (No certificate). We applied to close case suggesting forum non conveniens. Heard nothing for a whole year until just received communication that the judge had accepted application from ex-solicitor to appoint Official Solicitor to represent P at an attended hearing for deputy appointment. The judge claimed CoP jurisdiction over P on the evidence of the expert-witness report that P lacks capacity to litigate. In effect judge forgoes the requirement of proof of lack of capacity required to appoint official solicitor, in an attempt to grab P's assets. I'm sure he will claim he is acting in P's best interests.
Hence the question, does the court really have legitimate jurisdiction over P's medical records, that evidently relate to her person, over whom they do not have jurisdiction, or are the records part of her property and affairs and the report thereon admissible in court?
Thanks for help
