On the public metadata alone, the useful point is how little the title actually tells us. “Re Direct Payments” could, hypothetically, be about who controls funds, how spending is evidenced, whether there was disagreement over decision-making, or something narrower about the court’s supervisory role. Those possibilities matter because each would raise quite different practical questions for families, deputies and public bodies. A cautious comparison is that a case about accounting for payments would be very different from one about a person’s wishes and participation, even though the same phrase appears in the title. Without the judgment text, it seems safer to treat this as a signpost to an issue area rather than authority for any proposition. Has anyone actually read the judgment and can say, in neutral terms, what the central issue was?
