MM v WL Clinic [2016] UKUT 37 (AAC)

Conditional discharge and DOL Charles J refused permission to appeal his earlier decision (the main point of which was that, for the purposes of Article 5, a restricted patient with the capacity to do so can give a valid and effective consent to conditions of a conditional discharge that when implemented will, on an objective assessment, create a deprivation of liberty). The Secretary of State can seek permission from the Court of Appeal [and subsequently did].

Appeal status information/thanks

Court of Appeal grant of permission. On 9/3/16 the Court of Appeal granted permission because "[T]he appeal raises important points of principle which ought to be considered by this court and on which there is a real prospect of success" and directed that the hearing of the appeal be expedited. Thanks to Donald Tiong (Bison Solicitors) for providing the Court of Appeal PTA decision.
