Abstract
<p>The Foreword to the November 2005 issue of the JMHL voiced ‘uncertainty’ about the future of the Draft Mental Health Bill 2004. A presumption was made that "the position will be clearer by the time of publication of the May 2006 issue". Well, the future of the 2004 Draft Bill has of course now been resolved - as all readers will know, it has followed the 2002 Draft Bill into the shredder.</p><p>Instead the 1983 Act is to be amended. On the presumption (yet another) that the proposed amendments will be published by the time the next issue is being prepared, we give an assurance that they will be considered then.</p><p>So far as this issue is concerned, we have decided to publish both articles which clearly sit within the term ‘mental health law’, and others which might be viewed as more on the fringes, but presumed to be on matters of interest to the majority, if not all, the JMHL readership.</p>
