The appellant appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board confirming she was incapable of consenting to treatment with antipsychotic medications.
The appellant argued there was insufficient corroboration of the physician's evidence, an insufficient examination, and a failure to inform her of treatment consequences.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding the Board reasonably concluded the appellant's own testimony and medical records corroborated the physician's diagnosis.
The court also held that the appellant's refusal to allow the physician to explain the treatment risks did not invalidate the finding of incapacity.
