240A: Temporary modification relating to powers of attorney and COVID-19

You could also call this:

"Special rules for giving decision-making power during COVID-19 have ended"

This part of the law about powers of attorney and COVID-19 is no longer in effect. It was removed from the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 on 30 November 2022. This means that any special rules that were in place during the COVID-19 pandemic about how you could give someone else the power to make decisions for you are no longer active.
