''A patient detained for treatment under the Mental Health Act 1983 could be treated compulsorily under s 63 of that Act for any disorder from which he suffered, and not only for the particular form of disorder from which he was classified as suffering under the application or order which authorised his detention.''

==Further notes==
"That is not, of course, to say that where an RMO is satisfied that the patient should be reclassified under [[MHA 1983 s16]] he need not do so" (para 33).

The following change made by the [[MHA 2007]], from 3/11/08, is relevant to this judgment:
*[[Mental disorder no longer split into separate classifications]]
