- Double-weighted statement
- Mental Capacity in Relationship is put forward as a double-weighted output since it is a longer-form output of 276 pages. The book provides a critical reappraisal of autonomy and makes interventions in long-standing debates about autonomy from a disability perspective. What is particularly novel is that it brings to bear philosophical, doctrinal, and socio-legal perspectives of these academic debates to questions of practice and law reform, demonstrating how a more relational understanding of mental capacity could be operationalised in practice. The book required a very wide-ranging background across disciplines.
