What Reviewers Are Saying
SUPERB ADVICE OF THE VERY HIGHEST STANDARD
COVERING ADULT SOCIAL CARE LAW AT A TIME OF GREAT CHANGE
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
This comprehensive new book (LAG) from the ever-supportive Legal Action Group guides all those advising people needing care and support through the constantly moving and overlapping web of legislation, guidance and case-law that makes up the complex field of adult social care law today.
And the need for this work from Stephen Knafler QC is probably more needed now that it has ever been with the introduction of the Care Act 2014. The author has compromised with his original concept for this book and has created what he says is “at its heart, a casebook”. He has included all the cases of any significance which form part of adult social care based on selections from the “Community care Law reports”.
In recent years, due to policies of 'financial austerity' by successive governments, social and health care bodies have increasingly made decisions involving increases in charges or reduction in services that have been subject to challenge.
LAG’s important new work, “Adult Social Care Law”, succeeds in bringing together all the significant domestic and European cases that form the basis of adult social care law and many other cases in overlapping areas such as the NHS, mental health and support for asylum-seekers and persons from abroad. And he does it in one volume (of 900 pages, but they are all needed).
Knafler, having appeared all the higher courts, is, of course, the best placed person to offer us expert commentary and analysis of the judgments and explain the relevance of older cases within the framework of the Care Act 2014 and associated statutory guidance. We were especially pleased to see the short overarching summary of the legal framework for each of the chapters which have a case-law focus which is most helpful. Where appropriate, the framework of legislation and guidance gives context to the cases that are digested chronologically within themes and it works.
There are over 500 case summaries are presented with a succinct headnote, a clear outline of facts and a summary of the judgment - often with extensive citations - to aid the busy practitioner to quickly and efficiently identify the most relevant cases as well as save valuable research time with extensive signposting to the most important resources.
The author’s purpose is to help the people who need care and support and the families and friends who support them. He writes that “this tome will…provide a sword and shield for those who need its help most and who often achieve incredible things in the face of huge adversity”. Knafler has done just that and it is a delight to know that he very much enjoyed writing it because we have the excellent benefits if his labours on our behalf.
The law is up to date as at the end of August 2016. The author’s aim is to update the book each quarter in its ebook format.
