Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal of provisional release from the measure lacked an up-to-date independent psychiatric expert opinion.
Solution extraite
Yes. Given the age of the only expert report and the changed circumstances, the authorities had to obtain a new independent psychiatric assessment before deciding.
Motifs extraits
The 1996 report was almost nine years old. Later reports showed changing risk and treatment developments, so the prior material no longer provided a sufficiently reliable basis for a prognosis.
