The appellant, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board confirming his involuntary admission to a psychiatric facility and his incapacity to consent to treatment with anti-psychotic medication.
The Superior Court of Justice reviewed the Board's decision on a reasonableness standard.
The court found ample evidence supporting the Board's conclusion that the appellant posed a risk of serious bodily harm to others and lacked the capacity to appreciate the consequences of refusing treatment.
The appeal was dismissed.
