Matthias Smed LarsenDoes anyone know of any critiques of the doctrine of necessity and similar concepts (especially in the context of exercise of official authority) which problematize the fact that such doctrines generally don't take into account *why* the situation requiring commitment of what is normally an illegal act even arose in the first place?
@simonkatterl Wondering if you know of any relevant scholarship specifically in the area of mental health law? A common critique of emergency coercion in my country is that much of it can be avoided if situations are deescalated, but our mental health legislation only takes into account the situation at the moment the decision to use coercion is made and not what came before.
Simon Katterl@Matthias Hey Matthias, hmmmm. I'm not sure. There's Australian scholarships but that won't be useful to you.
I wonder out loud whether WHO might have something? They would be the international org to think of.
@simonkatterl If the Australian scholarship is of a more conceptual nature it might still be useful.
I'll check out the WHO. Thanks :-)
