The theme of the Elder Law and Capacity Conference this year is the “Deprivation of Liberty”.
This theme will be of particular interest to members in light of the introduction of the fi rst tranche of the Mental Capacity (NI) Act 2016 which will undoubtedly impact on elderly and incapacitated clients and their support networks.
The Society is delighted to announce a number of key note speakers who will address delegates on a wide variety of important issues.
The conference will be chaired by Linda Johnston, solicitor who is the Chair of the Board of the Journal of Elder Law and Capacity.
