This judgment will become final in the circumstances set out in Article 44 � 2 of the Convention. It may be subject to editorial revision .
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
��������� Lech Garlicki, President, ��������� Nicolas Bratza, ��������� P�ivi Hirvel�, ��������� George Nicolaou, ��������� Ledi Bianku, ��������� Neboj�a Vučinić, ��������� Vincent A. De Gaetano, judges, and Lawrence Early , Section Registrar,
�Because of the difficulties [RP] has in understanding, processing and recalling information, I believe that she will find it very difficult to understand the advice given by her solicitor. She will not be able to make informed decisions on the basis of this advice, particularly when this involved anticipating possible outcomes. It would be appropriate for the Official Solicitor to become involved.�
�You may already know that on 7 November 2006 the Official Solicitor was asked to act as your guardian ad litem . This means that he will instruct your solicitor for you. He can only do this if a doctor or the court has decided that you cannot do so yourself. In your case, HJ completed a report dated 23 October 2006 which shows that you have a learning disability. If your condition improves and HJ or another doctor says that you can manage on your own, the Official Solicitor will of course step down and no longer act for you.
