The appellant appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board which found him incapable of consenting to treatment with anti-psychotic medication.
The appellant, who suffers from a primary psychotic disorder, argued he was capable.
The Superior Court of Justice reviewed the Board's application of the two-part test under the Health Care Consent Act.
Applying a reasonableness standard of review, the court upheld the Board's finding that the appellant lacked the ability to appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of his decision due to his lack of insight into his illness.
The appeal was dismissed.
