Extract
The power and responsibility of mental health review tribunals are set out in section 65 et seq. of Part V of the Mental Health Act 1983. Tribunals are independent judicial bodies which were first established under the Mental Health Act 1959. They are charged, when requested, with reviewing the cases of patients compulsorily detained under the provisions of that legislation.
