Abstract

These proceedings were a sequel to the case reported as Re F (Mental Health Act: Guardianship), in which the Court of Appeal held that wardship proceedings were preferable to guardianship proceedings under section 7 of the Mental Health Act 1983 where there were concerns for the wellbeing of a seventeen-year-old girl who had a mental age of between five and eight years.
