Summary by Ben Troke, Browne Jacobson solicitors
Hard on the heels of Neary v London Borough of Hillingdon (16 June 2011), another local authority has fallen foul of the Court of Protection for an unlawful deprivation of liberty, this time for a child in a special school where his care included seclusion in a padded room.
Like Neary, C v A Local Authority has lessons about deprivation of liberty, care planning and management, and involvement of families more widely.  I attach a link to a bulletin about this judgment which, like Neary, attracted National press coverage, in case this is of use.
