O, Regina (on The Application of) v Secretary of State for The Home Department: SC 27 Apr 2016

The appellant failed asylum seeker had been detained for three years pending deportation. She suffered a mental illness, and during her detention the medical advice that her condition could be coped with in the detention centre changed, recommending treatment in the community. She said that the Francis case was wrongly decided.
Held: Her appeal failed. The treatment provided under the additional stress of detention would no doubt be more difficult, but still might be deemed satisfactory in the circumstances and context, and would not be satisfactory in another context.
