The Deputy must assume their duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Deputy Order, which sets out the extent of their authority. They should also adhere to the statutory principles set out in the Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice and only make decisions under the authority of the Court. In short, they must always act in the best interests of the person who lacks capacity, and failure to do so could result in the Court of Protection revoking the Deputy Order. In particularly serious cases, the Deputy may be held personally liable for any claims of negligence or criminal charges, such as fraud.
