The case concerns the right of a psychiatric patient to choose to die by refusing intervention from the hospital. The Court considered the treatment provisions of Part IV of the Mental Health Act, capacity at common law and the legitimate interests of society in preserving life. However the notoriety of Mr Brady, and his own personality, meant that underlying the judgment were considerations of public policy as much as legal analysis.Published
