The appellant appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board confirming their incapacity to consent to treatment for a mental disorder.
The appellant argued the Board made factual errors, specifically confusing two medications.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal, finding that while the Board made minor factual errors, they did not amount to palpable and overriding errors that would vitiate the Board's conclusion regarding the appellant's inability to appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of refusing treatment.
