Place a cross in ONE of the boxes below (C1–C4) Ø
C1 It appears to me that the deprivation of liberty of the person is authorised under
the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
I am satisfi ed that a Court of Protection order, standard authorisation or urgent
authorisation is in force in relation to the person’s deprivation of liberty, or that a
relevant authorisation is presently being sought from that particular court.
If C1 applies, describe the authority in the box below,
e.g. you might write ‘a standard authorisation given by
A N Other PCT on 1 January 2009 for a period of 12 months’.
C2 It appears to me that the deprivation of liberty of the person is not authorised
under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and nor has it been authorised under the
Mental Health Act 1983 or by some other authority or court (such as the High Court).
C3 The person’s deprivation of liberty in the hospital is authorised under the Mental
Health Act 1983 or by some other authority or court (such as the High Court).
If C3 applies, describe the authority in the box below, e.g.
the relevant section of the Mental Health Act 1983.
C4 I am unable to say whether or not the person’s deprivation of liberty is authorised
under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, or under some other Act or authority, and
further enquiries by the supervisory body need to be made.
