G v G [2000]

Key Points:

• Case Background:

◦ This case addressed whether an order could be made in the context of unintentional conduct by an individual.

• Legal Decision:

◦ It was determined that an order could be made even if the conduct was unintentional. However, it was crucial that the individual involved had sufficient mental capacity to understand and engage with the proceedings.

• Significance:

◦ G v G extends the principle that orders can be issued based on unintentional conduct, provided the individual has the necessary mental capacity. This aligns with the broader principle that mental capacity is essential for legal decisions and actions, as seen in other cases where capacity is a determining factor.
