High Court orders the discharge of a man from wardship, appointing a Decision-Making Representative (DMR) to assist with personal welfare, health, and financial decisions, as no suitable co-decision-maker was available. The court's decision was based on medical evidence indicating that the individual lacked capacity in these areas without the assistance of a co-decision-maker. The DMR is tasked with ensuring joint decision-making with the individual to the greatest extent possible, and the individual's capacity is to be reviewed within three years.
