I've finally been able to get through to the Court of Protection. At yesterday's hearing the Judge did allow the case to proceed and made a Section 49 order (Mental Capacity Act 2005) which calls on the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to visit my grandmother in hospital and prepare a report. However it is unclear whether a separate order has been made to prevent my grandmother being discharged or whether it's implicit within the Section 49 order.
Annoyingly the relevant technical officer who can answer that question doesn't start work until 10:00 so can't contact me until then. In the meantime I'm going to serve copies of the COP1 application on all relevant parties so they can make an informed choice of how to proceed.
