Supreme Court ruling on capacity to consent sparks outrage from disability rights groups

Summary

Campaign groups including Mencap, Mind, and the National Autistic Society have condemned a Supreme Court ruling as the "biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation." The ruling concerns individuals who lack the capacity to consent to their living arrangements, and charities warn it could strip hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people of fundamental human rights protections by removing independent checks and automatic access to legal aid.
