SCLAC MH 021 - PATIENT APPEAL –MEDICATION CAPACITY WIC § 5334(e)(1). This is a Los Angeles County Superior Court form used by a patient to appeal a medication capacity determination made during a Medication Capacity Hearing. The form allows an appellant to challenge a finding that they lack the capacity to provide an informed refusal of psychiatric medication and may therefore be medicated against their will. Filed under Welfare and Institutions Code § 5334(e)(1), the form requests court review of the hearing officer’s decision and may seek an order requiring the patient and treating physician to appear before the court. The document also includes sections for the court’s hearing order and proof of service, making it a key procedural form in medication capacity appeal proceedings within Los Angeles County.
