“A Practical Guide to Mental Health Law in Hong Kong” consists of twelve modified case studies based on real-life scenarios which introduce the relevant mental health law in Hong Kong. The book also highlights the legal procedures and practical considerations for managing the property and affairs of persons suffering from mental incapacitation (MIPs) and addresses alternative planning tools such as wills, enduring powers of attorney, continuing powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. Ms. Chan ends the book with a discussion on the way forward for Hong Kong, with reference to the mental health law and legal practices in other common law jurisdictions pertinent to the protection of the interests of MIPs.

“It is opportune for a book on mental health law in Hong Kong to be published. Sherlynn G. Chan’s work represents a substantial contribution to the promotion of sound and proper engagement of the legal process in this area. It provides useful and up-to-date guidance to practitioners in this field. I would highly recommend it to lawyers and students.” —The Honourable Mr Justice Johnson Lam Man Hon, Vice-President of the Court of Appeal of the High Court

“Sherlynn G. Chan is a recognized expert in the management of the affairs of mentally incapacitated persons and this new book of hers is a generous sharing of her wealth of experience in this unique field of the law.” —Charles Chiu, Chairperson, Guardianship Board
