Tribunal appeals surviving change of section

Law and practice Mental Health Act
1

There is a general rule which has been established by case law but I can’t remember it and am rather pushed for time.
I think that an application made when client is unrestricted survives if they are given a restriction order. But this does not apply if , e.g a s47/49 becomes a notional s37.
Can anyone confirm and give me the case law.

Here are all the cases I know about: https://www.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/Change_in_status_during_tribunal_proceedings.

I don’t think there’s a general rule, but there are enough cases now that it’s probably possible to describe the pattern in one long sentence.
