s.76(1) CPO, read in context with s.75 and the Fourth Schedule and the Mental Health Ordinance, is not inconsistent with the Bill of Rights; mandatory admission under s.76(1) serves legitimate interests (assessment, treatment, and protecting public interest by enabling future trial) and is subject to MHO safeguards and discharge mechanisms, so permanent stay is inappropriate.
