The appellant, an inpatient diagnosed with schizophrenia, appealed a Consent and Capacity Board decision finding him incapable with respect to treatment with anti-psychotic medication and incapable of managing his property.
The appellant argued the Board misapprehended evidence and reached unreasonable conclusions.
The Superior Court of Justice applied the reasonableness standard of review to the Board's findings of mixed fact and law.
The court found that the Board's conclusions regarding the appellant's inability to appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of his decisions, due to his denial of illness and paranoid delusions, were reasonable and supported by the evidence.
The appeal was dismissed.
