R (on the application of CS) v Mental Health Review Tribunal; Managers of Homerton Hospital (East London and the City Mental Health NHS Trust) (Interested Party)
Queen’s Bench Division, (Administrative Court), Pitchford J., 6 December 2004
EWHC (Admin) 2958
The decision of a Mental Health Review Tribunal under section 72(1) Mental Health Act 1983 not to discharge a patient on section 17 leave from hospital was not unlawful. The link between hospital and treatment may be “gossamer thin” but still a “significant component” to justify renewal of detention
