Our experience is that current law and procedure in this area do not work for our intellectually disabled clients to offer them the same opportunities to pursue a case as other clients without any such disability, so we are delighted to see this detailed and thoughtful Consultation Paper, and also to contribute our own reflections on it. 82Kb Adobe PDF View/Open
