Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Uusimaa rejected the order for involuntary psychiatric treatment of a married minor. The court found that while the patient's marriage did not exempt the authorities from consulting parents, the parents were not heard before the decision was made. Consequently, the court held the treatment order invalid because the statutory requirement for parental consultation was not fulfilled.

Alaikäinen, avioliitossa oleva A oli määrätty psykiatriseen

sairaalahoitoon tahdostaan riippumatta. Hänen vanhempiaan

ei ollut ennen hoitoonmääräämispäätöksen tekemistä

kuultu. Kun se seikka, että alaikäinen A oli solminut

avioliiton, ei poistanut mielenterveyslaissa säädettyä

vanhempien kuulemisvelvoitetta, lääninoikeus jätti hoitoonmääräämispäätöksen

vahvistamatta.
