BB v South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust [2009] UKUT 157 (AAC)

(Redirected from BB (2009) UKUT 157 (AAC))

(1) The Tribunal panel failed to state with clarity how and why it disagreed with the reasoning of the independent psychiatrist who had recommended conditional discharge; therefore, the making of the decision involved the making of an error on a point of law. (2) The decision was not set aside: to do so would provide no practical benefit as the patient had recently re-applied to the Tribunal.
