(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Commencement No. 4) Order 2005.

It adds a provision of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (“the Act”) to the provisions of the Act which are excepted from commencing on 5th October 2005.

The effect of Article 2 is to provide that section 101(2)(b) of the Act should not commence on 5 October 2005.

Section 101(2)(b) of the Act requires the Tribunal to review a determination made under section 86 of the Act extending a compulsory treatment order, where no decision has been made by the Tribunal during a period of 2 years ending with the day on which the order, had it not been extended by the determination, would have ceased to authorise the measures specified in it.
