View source for JB v MHTS (2012) MHLO 17 (ScotSC)

''The MHTS declared under section 257 [[Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003]] that JB was no longer to be the named person on the basis that it was inappropriate for her to continue as such. The decision was made by a Convenor (legal member) sitting alone, but should have been made by a full panel: the tribunal was faced with an important substantive decision; there was no emergency; even if there had been extant proceedings, this was not a 'preliminary' or 'interim' decision within the rules. The tribunal was therefore improperly constituted, and the appeal was allowed.''
