No, I can't make much sense of the Mental Capacity Act either, and as for the presumption of validity in contracts with those without contractual capacity my mind boggles.

One of the other problems in the Equality Act is Section 9. Race does not extend to all communities sharing characteristics, still less to those sharing only some characteristics, and so far although the section is drafted to be able to be extended to cover caste, it has not been so extended.

So for this purpose, genetic Pavee are a race, genetic Roma are a race, but new age travellers are not and if a new age traveller weds one of the others what thier offspring are baffles me.

So far Rastafarianism has been denied the status of a religion, too.


White Man jumped a bit when I turned up Perry Foster's postcode though, didn't he? The other shoe has not yet dropped.
