8. Mental Capacity Act 2005
No Capacity Act issues identified during the assessment.
9. Reason for decision to make the application (including choice of
Section)
Given that Mr Cordell’s diagnosis and treatment plan were not clear at the
time of the assessment the assessment was for possible detention on section
2. It was my view that Mr Cordell did not meet the statutory criteria for
detention. It was not clear that he was suffering from a mental disorder of a
nature because at the time of the assessment it was unclear if whether or not
he had a mental disorder. He did not meet the criteria for degree as there
was no clear evidence that he was experiencing symptoms of mental
disorder.
