The appellant appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board upholding her attending psychiatrist's finding that she was incapable of consenting to antipsychotic medication.
The appellant, who had a long-standing diagnosis of schizoaffective disorders and schizophrenia, did not believe she had a mental condition and maintained that the medication was harming her.
The Superior Court of Justice applied the reasonableness standard of review and found that the Board reasonably concluded the appellant was unable to apply relevant information to her circumstances or appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of a decision regarding her treatment.
The appeal was dismissed.
