Meeting 18 July 2007

     E-mail and Notice and details of Shropshire next Meeting from Liz Holdsworth Subject: Next SFE Meeting 18th July 2007
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 18:36:24 +0000

I am delighted to attach a notice of our next meeting at which Denzil Lush,
The Master of the Court of Protection, will talk to us about the progress,
implementation and effects of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. As you know the
bulk of it will come into operation in October so we all need to know as
much as possible!

It is Denzil Lush's birthday on the 18th and we are planning a simple
buffet (sandwiches/nibbles etc) after the lecture. We hope as many as
possible of you will stay , but I do ask you to give us a reasonable idea of
numbers in the space provided on the booking form so that we can order the
optimum amount of food from the caterers.

I would like to thank Alastair Brierley for arranging for this lecture and
liaising with Denzil Lush. I think we are fortunate to have a lecture from
the Master of the Court of Protection at such a time.

For SFE members you may like to know that central SFE are working on some
precedent letters/info sheets etc to use with LPAs - More anon!

There is a very generous early booking fee which I commend to you. You may
notice that we are not adding any charge for the buffet.

Kind Regards
Liz Holdsworth
Regional Co-ordinator
Shropshire SFE WE NEED email addresses of any interested solicitors or legal executives as all future distribution will be by this method, unless you have no email address. Please share this with ALL members of your firm and other offices.
