NORTHERN IRELAND
This Order amends Articles 77 and 78 of the Mental Health (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 to remove the incompatibility of those provisions with Article 5(1) and 5(4) of the European Convention on Human Rights. In England and Wales, in the case of The Queen on the application of H v Mental Health Review Tribunal North & East London Region (Secretary of State for Health Intervening) (4 April 2001) the court made a declaration of incompatibility in respect of the corresponding provisions in sections 72(1) and 73(1) of the Mental Health Act 1983.
