Admission order
An admission order was an order (equivalent to a hospital order) made under CPIA 1964 s5, the accused having been found not guilty by reason of insanity or unfit to plead etc. It could be given with restrictions (equivalent to a restriction order).
Now in these circumstances the court gives a proper hospital order under the MHA 1983, alongside a restriction order if appropriate.
