Court Hearing

Luba Macpherson


On 30 April 2025 at 10:30am, my case, a referral from the Court of Appeal CA-2024-001185; Court of Protection ref: 13258625, will be heard in a "Capacity to Litigate" hearing before The Honourable Mrs Justice THEIS DBE at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2A 2LL. The case will be listed as Ms MacPherson v Sunderland City Council. The hearing is in person and expected to last one day.

This is a deeply personal and painful fight for me and my daughter’s rights and her future. I am asking anyone who can, to please attend and show support in court. Your presence could make a real difference—not just for us, but for raising awareness of what families like mine are going through in the system.

I was accused of Contempt of Court for publishing videos on Social Media. My daughter remains anonymous in those videos. Now the Court has inadvertently published her full name, but have not answered our simple questions about what they have done about it. Despite years of fighting with no legal help, and even getting a case into ECHR, my barrister has now declared that I have no mental capacity to litigate and instruct him. This has been nothing but delaying tactics and efforts to silence me. Meanwhile, my daughter languishes in a Care Home with a psychiatrist and Social Worker telling her that it is "unrealistic to grant her mental capacity at the moment". The Mental Capacity Act 2005 makes no reference to capacity being "granted" as it must be assumed to be present until proved otherwise. Likewise there is no reference to capacity being dependent on other factors, such as the outcome of a "big" meeting to come. This abuse of the Mental Capacity Act must be stopped!

Please stand with us.
Date: 30 April 2025
Time: 10:30 AM
Location: Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2A 2LL
Hearing Type: Capacity Hearing (Attended)


I am facing another hearing on 30 April 2025 where the court will try to determine whether I have capacity to litigate, based on questionable expert opinion and a process I believe is designed to silence me further.


The average annual cost of incarcerating a female prisoner in the UK is approximately £56,415, equating to about £154.60 per day . Based on this rate, Macpherson's nearly four-month sentence would cost the public roughly £17,800


This is a case that speaks to deep corruption, unchecked power in the Court of Protection, and the destruction of a family — all behind closed doors.


This is not just a family tragedy — it is a case that reveals how the Court of Protection can be used to shield institutional failure, enable systemic abuse, and silence those who speak out.


Despite my daughter's suffering, clear legal irregularities, and strong documentary evidence, no intervention has taken place. Instead, I now face an upcoming Court of Protection hearing on 30 April 2025, where my own capacity to litigate is being questioned — a move I believe is designed to neutralise my ability to expose wrongdoing.



What began as a safeguarding dispute has turned into something far darker: a sustained campaign of concealment, defamation, and silencing — carried out with the authority of the court, the complicity of appointed professionals, and the inaction of regulators.
