“Where a hospital or guardianship order was made under section 37(1) of the Mental Health Act 1983, there was no entitlement to a trial under section 37(3). The Queen’s Bench Divisional Court (Lord Justice Hughes and Mr Justice Treacy) so held on July 3, 2007, when dismissing a claim for judicial review by Surat Singh of the decision of a district judge to adjourn his trial for a second psychiatric report with a view to considering making either a hospital or guardianship order under section 37(1) without convicting him accused under section 37(3).”
