*'''Chronology.''' See [[August 2016 chronology]] for this month's changes to the website in date order.

==Case law==
*'''Upper Tribunal case summary document (January 2016).''' This is a document issued to tribunal judges as guidance. The summary of [[PJ v A Local Health Board (2015) UKUT 480 (AAC)]] (in relation to the tribunal's role when faced with an ECHR breach) effectively rephrases as correct the position found to be unlawful by the Upper Tribunal, and the summary of [[WH v Partnerships in Care (2015) UKUT 695 (AAC), (2015) MHLO 132]] (in relation to the appropriate medical treatment test applying to the detaining hospital only) appears to contradict the ratio of the Upper Tribunal decision. See [[Mental health case law#External links]] and see the case law pages for further details.
