Kind of. What the Montgomery ruling did was raise the bar of the civil standard (negligence) for INFORMED consent. But criminal standard for baseline consent hasn't changed. Key words there are nature & purpose. What exactly are you proposing to do to me & why? Assault without.

TY v. helpful. My experience, not as serious as some. In short I had meeting with Honorary Psychotherapist I thought to discuss counselling he thought to assess. No info given re what to expect no consent secured. He imposed harmful Dx on me. Prof conduct case largely upheld.

Interesting the case was upheld. Rightly so, from what you've said. The guidelines are entitled 'Consent to EXAMINATION or treatment' for a reason. You don't even get to assess someone with capacity without their consent, let alone diagnose/treat. Sorry to hear that happened.

Upheld by prof regulatory body due to ethical code of client autonomy being breached. They considered informed consent. NHS carried on muttering about being able to rely on implied consent.

Anyone who talks about implied consent tends to make me stop and take notice. It may have it's place, but it's a dangerous line around which to dance, that one. It's been a clear, thick, red line since Nuremberg, but some still seem willing to try and blur it.
