High Court is unable to conduct a statutory review concerning the continued detention of a young man with complex mental health needs, due to the lack of a report from an independent consultant psychiatrist, the court emphasising the mandatory nature of such a report for the review process, as outlined in the legislation, and concluding that without it, the court could not fulfill its statutory obligations.
