In Stenner (Re), 2026 BCSC 1978, the BC Supreme Court declined to determine that a man lacked capacity to manage his person or affairs based solely on the medical material presented.

Institutional responsibility is never just one document.
An incident report. A review-panel decision. A restraint policy requiring oversight. A transition-of-care protocol. Each begins somewhere, then gathers records, decisions and responsibilities. Binder gives your organization a Matter to keep that work connected instead of losing it across inboxes and handovers.
Binder organizes institutional work. It doesn't replace clinical judgment, independent oversight, professional advice or individual consent. Don't upload identifiable patient or detainee records without proper authority.
