The appellant, an involuntary psychiatric patient, sought to appeal an order authorizing a change in her anti-psychotic medication.
After Legal Aid refused to fund the motion for leave to appeal, the appellant brought a motion to appoint her former counsel as amicus curiae.
The Divisional Court granted the motion, appointing the counsel as amicus curiae to represent unrepresented interests and act tantamount to counsel for the appellant in the leave motion and related proceedings, with costs to be paid by the Attorney General.
