<!--====Case citations====
In a development which may enthuse some more than others, I have at last (November 2016) written an extension which: (1) overcomes a software limitation which previously meant that all citations contained round brackets (square brackets are used in citations if the year is needed to identify the case or article, which is true for all neutral citation numbers); and (2) checks BAILII each time a neutral citation number appears on MHLO and automatically adds a BAILII link if the judgment is available there (links appear in blue text: the automatic external links have dotted underlining, normal external links have solid underlining, and internal links to other MHLO pages are not underlined). You can see an example of the extension at work on the [[R (Lee-Hirons) v SSJ (2016) UKSC 46, (2016) MHLO 38]] page.

Surround text with two ' marks to make it italic: type <nowiki>''word''</nowiki> to display ''word''.

** Automatically-generated BAILII link: [2018] WLR(D) 637


Sourround text with three ' marks to make it bold: type <nowiki>'''word'''</nowiki> to display '''word'''.

About the website

The internet resource on mental health law, and mental capacity law, for England & Wales. You can sign up for free email updates, the online forum and the CPD scheme (which provides 12 hours for £75 and is suitable for lawyers and non-lawyers). You can advertise your job vacancies and events here, or browse the bookshop. The main content of this website has been divided into Case law (2461), Legislation (388) and Resources (1,108), together with separate Information pages (334) to link everything together.

The abbreviations are similar but MHLO, MHLA and MHLR are all different.
