Appeal to the High Court from decision of the Court of Protection

VT v NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Integrated Care Board and Another [2024] EWHC 294 (Fam)

In the case outlined here, there was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Protection about where a vulnerable person should reside. Appeals from Court of Protection decisions are unusual, and, in this instance, an issue had arisen because it was not until pre-hearing discussions on the day of the directions hearing that the parties became aware of the Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) intention to apply to treat the directions hearing as a final hearing.
