Individuals with dementia are under the umbrella term of mentally incapacitated persons in the Mental Health Ordinance in Hong Kong. Through formal law education, it is believed that legal professionals in Hong Kong are equipped with knowledge on the legal procedures for defining mentally incapacitated persons. Yet, such training and education are not specifically about dementia.

Reply from Law Society – “The Ethics paper at Universities does cover this issue – Chapter 5.5 of the Ethics, Professional Responsibility and the Lawyer text covers this situation. Lawyers then must continue their education and this topic is one that would be covered by seminars and NZLS CLE [continuing law education]”.
