Court Decisions
C-80 - Public Curatorship Act
Section 8
Disposition versions
8. The Public Curator may, in the manner provided for by sections 13 to 19 of the Mental Patients Protection Act (chapter P-41), request the psychiatric examination of a person who refuses to undergo such examination if he has obtained from a physician a certificate attesting that the person is afflicted with mental disorders, might endanger his property or that of others and that he should undergo a clinical psychiatric examination in a hospital centre.
Only a physician entitled to practise in Québec who is not related or allied to the person concerned may issue such a certificate.
The order of the judge shall be served by the clerk of the court upon the Commission des affaires sociales established by the Act respecting the Commission des affaires sociales (chapter C-34).
