— Those issues before the court were: (1) Should CP's parents be made parties to these proceedings? (2) Does CP have the capacity to make decisions about her obstetric care and treatment, including a pre-arranged caesarean section? (3) If not, what orders should the Court make in respect of her treatment? (4) If the court decided that a pre-arranged Caesarean section is in CP's best interests, is it in her best interest to have a spinal block or a general anaesthetic?
