High Court affirms the continuation of orders for the detention and supervision of a vulnerable man in his thirties with a complex presentation, including a general learning disability and autism spectrum disorder, finding that the man's significant mental disability impairs his capacity to make decisions regarding his welfare, thereby justifying the orders to protect his constitutional rights, including his right to life.
