The defendant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the plaintiff was, apart from short episodic periods, so mentally disordered as to be incapable of managing and administering his affairs within the meaning of Order 80 r.1; the court cannot proceed under the Mental Health Ordinance absent compliance with its statutory procedures; accordingly the defendant's summons is dismissed.
