Any person who, as a result of the initial evaluation, does not require the level of care of hospitalization intensity, but represents a risk to the self or others, and to property, and requires a level of care of greater autonomy, the psychiatrist, along with the inter- or multidisciplinary team of professionals, shall recommend to the court to order compulsory participation in a level of care with less intensity and greater autonomy, under penalty of contempt if he/she does not attend. The institution in charge of the administration of the compulsory treatment shall be bound to notify the court of the patient’s attendance and the progress of the treatment, or the evolution of the clinical condition. The reports shall be submitted to the court quarterly, until the person’s situation, by the symptoms and signs so justify it, and this report may move the court to determine that the person does not represent a risk to the self or others, or to property. History —Oct. 2, 2000, No. 408, § 4.11, eff. 90 days after Oct. 2, 2000.
