A 48 year old woman, suffering Huntington’s Disease appealed against a decision in the Court of Protection, raising two issues: (1) whether the learned judge erred in law in concluding that GW lacks capacity to leave and return to her residence unescorted and to make decisions concerning her care and residence and (2) whether the learned judge erred in refusing permission to appeal against an earlier decision by a district judge to make an interim order under s. 48 of the 2005 Act which had the effect of depriving GW of her liberty.
