— Very detailed summary, including this in the conclusion: "The judgment is right to bury the acid test. It is right to insist that Convention consent is not reducible to MCA capacity. It is right, too, to recognise that a person with impaired decision-making may still have a de facto attitude to their own living arrangements that the law must take seriously. But it is wrong, or at least gravely under-reasoned, as far as it leaves the impression that the inability to express a view can be solved by replacing P's will with somebody else's."
