''After the case had been adjourned part-heard, the patient's withdrawal was agreed by a tribunal clerk. The panel judge spoke with a salaried tribunal judge, who then set aside the decision to consent to withdrawal, and the tribunal reconvened without discharging the patient. The salaried tribunal judge's decision was unlawful and the tribunal therefore had no jurisdiction to continue with the hearing. (Under the subsequent [[Practice Statement: Delegation of Functions to Staff and to Registrars on or after 27 April 2015 (27/4/15)]] the original decision would not have been made by a clerk.) ''

==Lack of parties' names==
Email from Upper Tribunal registrar (28/8/15): "The UT Judge in this case appears to have decided that the decision is not of general importance i.e. he has not circulated this decision amongst other judges, or to put it on the website - therefore there is no case name or neutral citation number. If you wish to cite the case - at this stage - you will have to do so by the file number only."
