    CACC398/2000

    The indeterminate hospital order was lawful and appropriate because contemporaneous and updated psychiatric opinion required continued inpatient treatment; an unlimited order preserved clinical discretion to transfer the patient as treatment progressed and better served both the applicant's treatment needs and public protection, therefore the application for leave to appeal against sentence was dismissed.
