Sorry, there's pretty high chance that AD was given to Li because he was compliant with discharge procedures and willingly volunteered to continue psychiatric monitoring. If he didn't volunteer willingly, that would have played into the boards decision.
Once again, AD is not given with the expectation that the Mental Health Act can be ignored afterwards. It doesn't mean he doesn't follow up with medical monitoring.

I outlined the conditions for a CTO to be involuntary. They happen to conflict with the conditions for an absolute discharge.
Provide any evidence that mandatory requirements for treatment can be placed as part of the absolute discharge.
What you are suggesting is that a set of psychiatrists will say he is safe and not a risk to the public as long as he is medicated and that he has a great history of maintaining his medication so is no longer a risk so grant an absolute discharge but also we are issuing a non-voluntary CTO because of having a history of not following his treatment plan meeting the requirements of 9.1 e) ii) A of the MHA
I also notice your post again lacks any reference to legislation or news or anything to suggest you are correct.
Again there is no legal requirement for any NCRd patient to continue with treatment as part of an absolute discharge. There is no non-voluntary CTO in place at time of an absolute discharge. You are misleading people.
