Hollie Greig Echoes Through The Royal Courts

In a landmark hearing held on Friday March 2, 2012 at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, a 32 year old downs syndrome woman, Hollie Greig, requested permission to appeal against the ruling last summer of a Royal Courts of Justice Family Division judge that she lacked 'capacity' to make litigation decisions for herself about her life.

The family division judge to whom the young woman's local authority had applied for endorsement of its care-plan for her, declared from her bench that the young woman in front of her did not have capacity, despite no medical evidence having been produced to substantiate this assessment and despite it being on state and medical record that she does have capacity.
