Sophie’s Story

At the Mental Health Tribunal Hearing Sophie’s lawyer addressed the legal criteria of the Order meticulously.

The Tribunal agreed that there was insufficient evidence presented by Sophie’s treating team during the Tribunal hearing to suggest that Sophie didn’t have the capacity to make her own treatment decisions. The Tribunal decided that not all the legal criteria were met, and the CTO was revoked.

“The lawyer put his point across effectively. His law background was great. He covered areas I didn’t have knowledge of or understand, particularly the terminology about the law.”
