Brings together the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984 and Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 with full narrative annotations. Because the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 has a substantial number of sections which are closely linked to the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984, practitioners will find it useful to access both annotated Acts in one volume. There have been significant developments in this area, for example the incorporation of the Mental Health (Public Safety and 9 and Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 and the amending provisions of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 into the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984. The annotations take these developments fully into account.
