Borderline capacity cases - a practical guide

Kennedys catastrophic injury team are hosting a webinar exploring key developments and practical issues surrounding borderline cases where capacity-related costings can represent a significant percentage of the claim.

This session will provide practical guidance on:

•    Ensuring experts have adequately addressed capacity with reference to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA 2005).
•    Understanding the scope of the Litigation Friend threshold.
•    Monitoring and managing a changing capacity position throughout proceedings.
•    Avoiding unnecessary barriers to settlement.
•    Approval of settlements in borderline cases, including key lessons from Forsyth v Howson [2025] EWHC 653 (KB).
