Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland

Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland

The Mental Health Tribunal for Scotland was set up by the Scottish Executive to hear applications for, and appeals against, Compulsory Treatment Orders, and appeals against Short Term Detention Certificates made under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003, and other matters in relation to that Act, for example, appeals against Compulsion and Restriction Orders.

Controversy

The Mental Health Tribunal has been criticised regarding its opacity and its authority. In 2009, WikiLeaks published a membership list which had previously been hosted on the Tribunal's website but later removed, along with several observations to this effect.
