MENTAL HEALTH ACT 2009 - SECT 20

20—Non-compliance with community treatment orders and making of inpatient treatment orders

        (1)         A person's refusal or failure to comply with a community treatment order is a relevant consideration in deciding whether an inpatient treatment order should be made in respect of the person under this Part.

        (2)         However, nothing in this Act prevents the making of an inpatient treatment order under this Part in respect of a person without a prior community treatment order having been made in respect of the person if an inpatient treatment order is required in the particular circumstances.
