The appellant appealed a Consent and Capacity Board decision confirming her involuntary admission to a psychiatric facility and finding her incapable of consenting to treatment with antipsychotic medication.
She argued the Board misapprehended the evidence, applied the wrong legal test, and reached an unreasonable decision.
The court held that the appropriate standard of review for mixed questions of fact and law was reasonableness and found the Board’s decision comprehensive and supported by the evidence, including medical records and witness testimony regarding deteriorating mental and physical condition.
The court concluded that the statutory requirements under the Health Care Consent Act and Mental Health Act were properly applied.
The appeal was dismissed.
