Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules make amendments to the Court of Protection Rules 2001 (S.I. 2001/824).
Rule 8(1)(a) of the 2001 Rules is amended so that the court may make a short order or direction if it appears that the property of the patient does not exceed £16,000 in value, rather than £10,000 (rule 3).
Rule 24 of the 2001 Rules is amended so that, unless the court directs otherwise, notice must be given to the patient where an application for any order, direction or certificate is made unless an application has already been made in respect of the same patient, but so that, in any case, notice must be given of a first application to appoint a receiver (rule 5). Where such notice is given, a certificate must be filed with the court to that effect (unless the court directs otherwise), which must include a certificate as to whether or not the patient understood the notice (rule 6).
There are a number of other minor amendments.
