The whole way the court was set up was a mess. The 2005 Mental Health Act was shoddy legislation, and created the Court, which was also set up shoddily. Labour almost immediately lost an outrageous ECR case and had to amend the the Act in 07 or 08. I think there might be another going through the ECR.
There have been endless complaints about it's operation, with reports going back years, in all political flavours of the media. So I for one welcome what the Telegraph, Christopher Booker and the judge are doing. The Telegraph is not my usual choice of view or politics.
All the cases except the most recent have been extensively reported.
Were it on climate change or one of the other Torygraph axes being ground, I'd agree with your critique, I don't think it really fits here.
