Category:2000 cases


The old category structure used on this page is comprehensive as it contains every relevant case. The new database structure was introduced in 2019. It is more potentially useful than the old categorisation system: it includes all cases since January 2017, but only a minority of older cases: see Special:Drilldown/Cases. The pages below are initially ordered according to the dates on which they were added to the site (most recent first). The order can be changed by clicking on the symbol beside a column heading: click on the symbol beside "Page and summary" for alphabetical order; click beside "Categories" for the order in which the cases were reported. Click on the arrow symbol again to reverse the order. Click on a page name to view the relevant page. Asterisks mark those cases which have been added to the new database structure.

R (SSHD) v MHRT, re MW [2000] EWHC 638 (Admin) — S78 allows Tribunal rules to be made to give the Tribunal such powers as are necessary for the purposes of the exercise of their statutory functions; the old MHRT rules were made under this section; the MHA does not give the Tribunal any power to make recommendations in the case of a restricted patient; therefore, the Tribunal could not lawfully adjourn for information relating solely to the making of an extra-statutory recommendation. 2009‑04‑11 23:58:13 2000 cases, Brief summary, Judgment available on Bailii, Powers, Transcript

R (K) v Camden and Islington Health Authority [2000] EWHC Admin 353 — The deferred conditional discharge could not be implemented because psychiatrist willing to supervise could be found; the duty on the health authority was not absolute but rather to take all reasonable steps (which they had); the psychiatrists had been entitled to exercise their professional judgment as they had. 2009‑04‑11 23:10:32 2000 cases, Brief summary, Deferred conditional discharge cases, Judgment available on Bailii, Transcript

R (Brown) v North East Thames MHRT [2000] EWHC 640 (Admin) — It was not in the public interest interest to pursue the judicial review of a Tribunal decision to discharge conditionally rather than absolutely: there had subsequently been a recall and a further well-reasoned conditional discharge; even if the applicant won he would be granted no relief. 2009‑04‑11 22:14:20 2000 cases, Absolute or conditional discharge cases, Brief summary, Judgment available on Bailii, Transcript


R (Brady) v Dr Collins [2000] EWHC 639 (Admin) — (1) The hunger strike was a manifestation or symptom of the patient's personality disorder, and the commencement of force-feeding was justified under s63 as medical treatment for mental disorder; even if s63 did not apply, the patient lacked capacity and the doctors had acted in what they lawfully believed was his best interests; (2) The appropriate test when considering challenges to compulsory treatment under s63 was the "super-Wednesbury" test [caution: the law has since changed] 2009‑04‑11 22:04:34 2000 cases, Brief summary, Challenges to compulsory treatment, Judgment available on Bailii, Transcript

Doreen Trew v Chase Farm Hospital [2000] EWHC 645 (Admin) — A deferred conditional discharge had proved impossible to implement, no psychiatrist being willing to supervise the patient; on a subsequent Tribunal application the medical evidence was that an absolute discharge would be appropriate, but the panel adjourned the hearing; in the circumstances habeas corpus was not the appropriate remedy as the failure of the Tribunal to make the decision (as it should have) did not make the detention unlawful. 2009‑04‑11 21:24:30 2000 cases, Brief summary, Judgment available on Bailii, Miscellaneous cases, Transcript
