No-one Told Them to Stop

So they just kept on going.

Croydon University Hospital (CUH) is going to attempt to discharge my grandmother to the Albany Lodge nursing home of Wednesday (9/11/11). As a result I have filed paperwork with the Court of Protection (COP) intended to prevent them from doing so. As this is an urgent matter it should be put before a Judge within the next 24 hours for a preliminary hearing. If that Judge decides there is a case to answer they will impose an injunction blocking discharge until a full hearing can take place. Obviously it's is not my place to predict the Judges decision however question 3.1 on the COP1B does ask if the patient has been assessed under the Mental Health Act 1983.

Technically I've faxed over a COP1 application supported by a COP24 statement along with a COP9 application for an urgent hearing and a COP2 application for permission to apply. As a named person in the Lasting Powers of Attorney and the previous COP ruling I strictly speaking don't need permission but it is better to be safe then sorry. The other paperwork including fee forms will follow at a later date as per procedure for urgent applications.
