(1) Any person may apply to the Tribunal for
consent to the carrying out of medical or dental treatment on a patient to
whom this Part applies.
(2) Such an application shall specify:
(a) the
grounds on which it is alleged that the patient is a patient to whom this Part
applies,
(b) the particular condition of the patient that requires treatment,
(c) the alternative courses of treatment that are available in relation to
that condition,
(d) the general nature and effect of each of those courses of
treatment,
(e) the nature and degree of the significant risks (if any)
associated with each of those courses of treatment, and
(f) the reasons for
which it is proposed that any particular course of treatment should be carried
out.
(3) Whenever such an application is made for consent to the carrying out
of medical or dental treatment and the treatment cannot be carried out without
that consent, the Tribunal may, by order:
(a) direct the person who is to
carry out the treatment not to start the treatment, or
(b) if the treatment
has already started--direct the person who is carrying out the treatment to
discontinue it,
until the Tribunal has determined the application.
