- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because independent expert opinion established that the psychiatric treatments (including six ECT sessions and psychotropic medications) were administered within acceptable professional standards, the appellant's symptoms were pre‑existent and not attributable to the treatment, valid consent was recorded, and therefore no medical error or medical misadventure was proved.
