Law Commission of Ontario Releases Interim Report on Legal Capacity, Decision-making and Guardianship

This is a follow-up to the Library Boy post of June 26, 2014 entitled Law Commission of Ontario Discussion Paper on Legal Capacity, Decision-making and Guardianship.

Earlier this week, the Commission released its Interim Report on Legal Capacity, Decision-making and Guardianship.

The Commission is looking for feedback from the public by March 4, 2016 as part of its consultation process.

The report is one of the elements of a major project to look at how decisions related to property, treatment and personal care are made in situations where individuals’ decision-making abilities are in impaired, but decisions must nonetheless be made.
