Summary
The project of the Mental Health Act was criticised by the authors who pointed out contradictions in terms of the proposed provisions, ambiguity of the Act regulations and their disagreement with other legal acts, as well as the unjustified granting the mentally disturbed broader rights than these vested in other persons under similar circumstances. Moreover, the authors suggest that acceptance of these statutory regulations may lead to a decisional paralysis in some specific situations under the Act provisions.
