Wales: It has been claimed that a 62-year-old retired management consultant, had charged his mother £400 for every time he visited her in a nursing home.
The Court of Protection heard that he had the power of attorney to his mother's finances and had charged her over £117,000.
The 87-year-old mother from Wales, suffers from dementia. She had given her son the responsibility of her finances 11 years ago. However, there were concerns after her unpaid nursing home bills had come to £29,000.
Judge Denzil Lush told the son, “One would be hard pressed to find a more callous and calculating attorney, who has flagrantly abused his position of trust.”
