Áine Flynn ON WEDNESDAY THIS week, the Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that Britney Spears may appoint a lawyer of her own choosing to represent her in relation to a ‘conservatorship’ arrangement that has been in place since 2008.
Last month, Spears told the court how, while her lucrative performing career has continued during the last 13 years, she has had very limited access to her money. Under the Lunacy Regulation Act of 1871, an adult can be declared by the court to be “of unsound mind and incapable of managing his person or property”.Family members may be appointed to act as “committees of the estate and/or the person” to take certain routine decisions, but they do so under the supervision of the President of the High Court.The wards of court system will be abolished on full commencement of the Assisted Decision-Making Act 2015, which is now expected to take place in 2022.
The Act sets out guiding principles to govern such arrangements. These principles include minimal intervention, respect for privacy, bodily integrity, autonomy, and the right to control over one’s own affairs. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youThe decision-making representative may take only those decisions specified in a time-limited court order and will report to the new Decision Support Service .
