OO v (1) Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and (2) Secretary of State for Justice
   
Issue: Whether a Tribunal had erred in law in failing to adjourn to allow a restricted patient to obtain an independent psychiatric report when a previous responsible clinician supported a deferred conditional discharge but a new responsible clinician opposed such a course; the requirements of equality of arms in the context; the impact of reliance on medical reports by other psychiatrists not called to give evidence but to whom the responsible clinician deferred.
