Barring order

When the RC opposes the nearest relative's request for the patient's discharge he does so by certifying that the patient, if discharged, would be likely to act in a manner dangerous to himself or others. This certificate (usually done on a standard form) is the barring order. This is the only objection to discharge which the RC can rely upon to bar the discharge.

See Nearest relative page for further details.
