''The appellant had been found not guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced to a supervision order for 2 years under s5 [[CPIA 1964]] and made the subject of a restraining order under s5A [[Protection from Harassment Act 1997]] for 5 years. He appealed against the restraining order. (1) An finding of 'not guilty by reason of insanity' is an acquittal for the purposes of the 1997 Act so a restraining order may be lawfully imposed. (2) On the facts, there was no evidence that the defendant was likely to 'pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment', so the restraining order was quashed. (3) In any event, the restraining order had been drafted very widely and for a long duration, and concerns as to the children's welfare would more properly be addressed by agreement between mother and local authority, or by the family courts under the [[Children Act 1989]].''
