This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you would like decisions of the Court of Protection made public, but we aren't sure what you mean by "limits to its powers and who can raise a case".

You could start a new petition setting out clearly the reforms you would like to see. Alternatively, you could start a petition calling for a review of the court's powers alongside a requirement for the court to make its decisions public.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
