In Grey v. Leblanc (Ont CA, 2024) the Ontario Court of Appeal considered aspects of the Mental Health Act, here in an appeal from the Consent and Capacity Board:
[2] The appellant has a long history of mental illness and hospital admissions, both voluntary and involuntary. The involuntary admission that is the subject of this appeal occurred on August 20, 2020, when the appellant was brought to and admitted as an involuntary patient at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (“CAMH”). On September 4, 2020, the respondent issued a Form 4 (Certificate of Renewal) to renew the appellant’s involuntary status certificate, relying on both Box A and Box B criteria under s. 20 of the Mental Health Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.7 (“MHA”). The Board confirmed the respondent’s decision to hold the appellant as an involuntary patient at CAMH. On September 23, 2020, CAMH discharged the appellant.
