The question in the appeal: Is a person who has been compulsorily detained in a hospital for mental disorder under section 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983 (“the 1983 Act”) and has then been released from detention but still requires “after-care services” entitled to require his local authority to provide such services at any time before he had exhausted sums reflecting the costs of care awarded to him in a judgment in his favour against a negligent tortfeasor.’
