AnnotationThe Law Commission has been working since 2014 to identify a better way of complying with Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which relates to the right to Liberty. The Commission has published 'Mental capacity and deprivation of liberty' (Law Com No 372; HC 2016/17 1079), which proposes replacing the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLs) with Liberty Protection Safeguards. This article explains how what is proposed will be cheaper and more manageable than the system currently in place. (RH).
