— The patient appealed against the restriction order aspect of the s37/41 hospital order, arguing that the judge had focussed too much on the background of the her behaviour up to and including the present offence and not enough on the progress which has been made over the lengthy period which had elapsed during her in-patient treatment. The Court of Appeal decided that the restriction order was necessary for public protection, particularly because there was evidence of sudden relapse not only from ceasing medication but also stress and pressure, and that when unwell the she had struggled to control her temper and had shown herself capable of causing serious injury to others. * * * Full details available at: [https://www.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/R\_v\_Inneh\_(2021)\_EWCA\_Crim\_2004?id=260323-2047](https://www.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/R_v_Inneh_(2021)_EWCA_Crim_2004?id=260323-2047)
