arrested at his home address after his mother
raised concerns about his mental state - he was
allegedly verbally threatening towards his
neighbour and (?) neighbour's children. Simon's
mother called police who arrested him. He was
seen by the FME at Wood Green police station,
was then referred for MHA.”
He appealed against his Section. The Mental
Health Review Tribunal discharged him from
Section 2 on the 26th August 2016.
Leading to current admission
As I stated above leading to this admission Mr
Cordell did not attend appointments offered to
him by our service. Subsequently due to the
allegations made against him I was advised to
attend a Safeguarding meeting for an alleged
victim. In that meeting I was informed by the
Council that Mr Cordell has a past and current
history of physical and verbal aggression
towards residents in the building. I was informed
that the council has tried to work with Mr
Cordell but to no avail. I was informed me that
Mr Cordell was getting easily irritated even by
the sound of a flushing toilet; this happened very
recently and he threatened the resident
concerned. The Council was of the opinion that
these are signs of mental illness and suggested
that BEH should proceed with a MHA. The
Council argued that this is for the protection of
others as well as Mr Cordell’s own safety.
Subsequently the council sent us a copy of ‘Anti-
Social Behaviour, Tenancy concerns and
breaches- pre-action letter’ which contained a
chronology of alleged incidents dating from
2016. These alleged incidents were in the
meaning of an antisocial behaviour presentation.
On the 17th October Mr Cordell was discussed
in our MDT meeting. A decision was made to
conduct a MHA. A MHA was attempted on the
19th October. Mr Cordell did not cooperate and
the assessment did not take place.
On the 23rd October an application for a
warrant was made but was declined on the
grounds "that there was insufficient recent
evidence that he was being "kept under
proper control” as he is living alone and
"insufficient recent medical evidence that "he
is unable to care for himself.
