Criminal Law (Insanity) Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

There are differences in the definitions of mental disorder in this Bill and the previous Act. The definition in the previous Act comes in after a decision has been made as to whether the person is fit to be tried or if it has been found that he or she is insane. I think I understand this now. It will be a great help to be able to bring this to those who have been in contact with me.
