''The applicant's complaints were all declared inadmissible. He had complained that: (1) medical treatment against his will was a breach of the negative obligations under [[Article 3|Articles 3]] and [[Article 8|8]]; (2) the authorities failed in their positive obligation under Articles 3 and 8 to provide suitable safeguards against the imposition of treatment that would violate his rights, in particular that the authorities should have sought approval from a court before imposing treatment and that he should have been able to bring a challenge against the treatment, before it took place, in a court which would have been able to provide a suitable level of review; (3) the inability to have a determination of his ‘civil right’ to autonomy in a court that would have provided a review on the merits was a violation of [[Article 6]]; (4) the lack of effective remedy was a breach of [[Article 13]]; (5) discrimination on the basis of his status as a detained patient was a breach of [[Article 14]].''
