Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Unified Mental Health and Capacity Law: Creating Parity and Non-Discrimination?   (2025)
Journal Article
Stavert, J. (in press). Unified Mental Health and Capacity Law: Creating Parity and Non-Discrimination?  . International Journal of Law and Psychiatry,

It has been argued that a fusion of mental health and capacity law creates parity and respects non-discrimination. This approach has been adopted in the Mental Capacity Act (Northern Ireland) 2016, although this legislation is not yet fully in force...
