|ICLR=[2021] WLR(D) 540
|ICLR ID=2021002021
|Court=Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
|Judges=Burnett, King, Baker
|Parties=Secretary of State for Justice, A Local Authority, C, A CCG, Institute of Registered Case Managers, NIA Women at The Well
|Judicial history first case=A Local Authority v C (2021) EWCOP 25
|Sentence=Prostitution
|Summary=The words "causes or incites" found in s39 [[Sexual Offences Act 2003]] carry their ordinary meaning, and care workers implementing a care plan facilitating contact between a person with mental disorder and a prostitute would clearly be at risk of committing a criminal offence. Section 39 does not interfere with an [[Article 8]] right (and would be justified if it did), and the discrimination involved (compared with someone whose physical disability prevented him from making the practical arrangements) is justified under [[Article 14]]. The court noted situations where facilitating contact might not fall foul of s39, such as where a person with dementia wishes to spend time at home with a spouse, or a young person wishes to meet people of his own age and make friends.
