Can the patient contest the care that\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is brought to him\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by force?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>What are the remedies to which he is entitled?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Refer to the judge of freedoms and detention<\/span><\/h2>\n

A patient who undergoes\u00a0<\/span>forced psychiatric care<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>challenge\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0this care if he considers it unjustified.\u00a0To do this, he must write to the judge of freedoms and detention of the court in which the establishment is located, and mobilize a third party under the conditions provided for by law: this third party may be, for example, his spouse or his lawyer. .\u00a0.\u00a0The judge has the choice to accede to this request or to seize if he considers to have sufficient elements, and also to fix a hearing at the court or at the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prove that the care is not justified<\/span><\/h2>\n

To win the case before the judge of freedoms and detention, it is necessary to prove by all means that this support is not justified and that a release of this measure must be ordered.\u00a0We must provide the judges with solid evidence: expertise, medical certificate, testimony from a third party, etc., and our own written observations.\u00a0The hearing is very important since all parties are heard.\u00a0On the basis of all these elements, the judge decides either to order the release, or to confirm this measure.\u00a0The patient can appeal their decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

What happens if my calls don’t go through?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the patient considers that the procedure has not been respected by the representative of the State or by the director of the establishment, or that a decision is not justified, he can ask to obtain the cancellation of the decision.\u00a0This request is made by appeal for abuse of power before the administrative court.\u00a0The patient can also decide to lodge a criminal complaint if he believes that offenses have been committed and claim damages.<\/span><\/p>\n
