R v Fairley (Terry James) [2003] EWCA Crim 1625
Having found the defendant unfit to plead, the court had no power to impose a hospital order or restriction order; the proper course would have been to consider an admission order with restrictions; the orders were quashed and the case remitted to the Crown Court. [NB the law has since changed.]
Notes
CPIA 1964 s5 has been amended so that a hospital order (with or without a restriction order) is one of the options for the court.
