| Concept | Legal authority |
| Description | A framework to communicate information about legal directives or orders that apply to the individual, for example, a power of attorney or guardianship order. |
| Use | Use to record information about legal directives or orders that apply to the individual, for example, a power of attorney, guardianship order, or mental health detention order. This archetype has been specifically designed as a framework or structure that can be extended for the complex range of use cases and local requirements by nesting a variety of possible CLUSTER archetypes which will contain specific details as per national or other local requirements. When used to record details of legally-binding documents, it MUST be ensured that the Legal directive archetype and any nested archetypes adhere to relevant legal requirements. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record information about advance care directives. Use openEHR-EHR-EVALUATION.advance_care_directive.v0 for this purpose. Not to be used to record details of mental capacity assessments. Use openEHR-EHR-EVALUATION.mental_capacity.v0 for this purpose. |
| Purpose | To record information about legal directives or orders that apply to the individual. |
