Medical Treatment Decisions and the Law covers an increasingly important area of law, seeking to place medical decision-making in its context and to provide practical guidance to the solution of many problems likely to be encountered in practice.

The third edition is fully updated to include: Cases on deprivation and restraint of liberty since the second edition; The March 2014 Supreme Court case of Cheshire West and P&Q, Article 5 ECHR; The Supreme Court case in Aintree v James; PC v City of York in which MacFarlane LJ emphasised the "decision specific" approach of the Mental Capacity Act; Important cases on the assessment and treatment of anorexic patients; The position where treatment has been refused by the patient (including force feeding and gynaecological treatment).
