Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the psychiatric detention decision was still justiciable
Extracted holding
The appeal had become moot because the involuntary detention confirmed in the challenged decision ended on 2007-05-15.
Extracted reasoning
Since the detention had already terminated, the appellant could no longer be held in the clinic on the basis of the challenged decision; the proceedings had therefore lost their object and had to be struck from the docket under the applicable procedural rules.
