Consideration of whether the necessary criteria are met for the recognition and enforcement of protective measures contained in an order made by the Irish High Court on 4th February 2020. The order was made by the President of the Irish High Court on the application of the Health Service Executive of Ireland (‘HSE’). The order authorised the transfer for treatment of SM, a 19-year-old Irish girl, to Ellern Mede Moorgate (‘Ellern Mede’), a specialist hospital with a high dependency unit in the North-East of England. The consensus before the Irish Court was that SM requires a placement which can stabilise her general mental health before treating her underlying condition.
