Her Ladyship held that a period of leave of absence can be regarded as detention in hospital for medical treatment. It follows from RM that there is no need for an in-patient element in the patients care plan to be identified before renewal can take place.
  • Re MK: Deprivation of Liberty and Tier 4 Beds, where Lieven J said the fact that the patients treatment needs may not be well met in a Tier 4 bed simply misses the point and that in her judgement, it must be the case that the State is more likely to achieve its obligations under Article 2 [of the European Convention on Human Rights (the Right to Life)] by keeping [the patient] in a locked unit, than either on a general paediatric ward or in Airbnb with high turnover of staff and not physically designed for containment.
  • Lukes v Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust, where Julian Knowles J held that the conditions for compulsory detention under the 1983 Act for either assessment or treatment are not limited to cases of psychosis, and that having mental capacity is no bar to being detained under the Act.
  • SF (as Nearest Relative of RB) v Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, where Judge Church held that it cannot be the case that treatment that is wholly inadequate for a patients needs can satisfy the appropriate medical treatment test in s.72(b)(iia).
  • Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust v Moon, where the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that nothing in s.23 of the Act precluded a member the committee, frequently referred to as an Associate Hospital Manager, from being a worker under s.230(3)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and employed under a contract personally to do work, as defined by s.82(2)(a) of the Equality Act 2010.

Legislation

Reference is made to a new legal framework introduced by the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Court Act 2022 which allows for the remote access by non-participants to proceedings, including tribunal proceedings, that are to be held in public.
