|Title=Important notice: Operation of section 77(2) MHA 1983 - disregarding withdrawn applications
|Organisation=Mental Health Tribunal
|Type=Tribunal guidance
|Sentence=Withdrawal guidance
|Abstract=On 8/12/08 the Chamber President issued a notice explaining that, until the Mental Health Act 1983 is amended in 2009, a patient who withdraws an application to the English Tribunal cannot reapply within the same period of eligibility; instead, he must ask for the original application to be reinstated. The necessary amendment came into force on 1/6/09 so this notice, although still on the Tribunals Service website, no longer applies.
|Detail===Further notes==
The LSC confirmed that when an application was reinstated under the procedure described here, it was to be treated as if the patient had made a fresh application - and therefore there were two separate matter starts.

The necessary amendment was made by the [[Transfer of Tribunal Functions (Lands Tribunal and Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2009]].
