MR MATTHEW SELIGMAN (instructed by Messrs Steel & Shamash) appeared on behalf of the CLAIMANT. MR VIKRAM SACHDEVA (instructed by Messrs Bevan Ashford) appeared on behalf of the FIRST DEFENDANT. MR DAVID FORSDICK (instructed by The Treasury Solicitor) appeared on behalf of the SECOND DEFENDANT. ____________________
Pausing there, what Mr Wheeler did was make an emergency application on the basis of one medical practitioner. He had the recommendation of a medical practitioner - that was Mr Pierce - who, it is undisputed, was statutorily competent to give a recommendation as an approved person for that purpose.
It is unnecessary for me to consider whether that decision, which was a decision on a habeas corpus application, means that one can have an acquaintance without any previous examination by the medical practitioner.
