Yet again, and not without some considerable embarrassment, I find myself apologising for the lateness of an issue. The ‘autumn’ issue has become a ‘winter’ issue (indeed a late winter issue). Many apologies are due to all subscribers and contributors. I am relieved to say however that no such apology will need to accompany the next issue. The 20th issue is to be the promised ‘special’ issue devoted to consideration of one matter, namely the viability and appropriateness of ‘A model law fusing incapacity and mental health legislation’ (the title of the issue). Its lengthy gestation period is nearly complete, and publication is expected within weeks of publication (in March 2010) of this Winter 2009 issue.Published
