To ask what happens in mental health act assessments

[Covidisloation]

If two people agrees that a person needs to be sectioned but the others don’t. I know with a jury it goes with the majority is this the same in the this case?

IIRC 2 mental health professionals need to agree that someone needs to be sectioned. I don't think there's a "majority rules" clause. (Disclaimer... haven't studied MH act for about 3 years so may be wrong)

I mean if say one doctor wouldn’t write a medical recommendation.

Two doctors recommend, the AMHP makes the application to detain.
So you need all three in agreement, the AMHP needs two recommendations (usually, there are exceptions) from the medics , they could then make or not make the application depending on whether they agree or not.
Does that make sense

There is an AMHP, two Drs snd just to complicate things The Nearest Relative (this is a legal term and may not necessarily be whom you would expect it to be - the rules are a bit complex.)

1. If all three professionals agree then a section can go ahead (except if it’s under section 3 and then the NR can object - in this scenario the AMHP can talk to the NR to see a way forward or go to court to displace the NR)
2. Both doctors agree but AMHP disagrees - no section unless the NR also agrees and makes an application themselves.
3. AMHP says yes and one or both drs disagree - section cannot go ahead.
