The appellant appealed a decision of the Consent and Capacity Board confirming his incapacity to consent to treatment with antipsychotic medication.
The appellant, who had a history of schizophrenia and psychosis, argued the Board misconstrued the evidence.
The Superior Court of Justice applied the reasonableness standard of review and found that the Board had clear and cogent evidence demonstrating the appellant was unable to appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of refusing treatment due to his delusions.
The appeal was dismissed.
