Decision to Discontinue the Execution of Compulsory Admission according to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Sadly Omitted Discourses in Autonomy, Equality, and Principles of Proportionality
根據身心障礙者權利公約,對當事人裁定強制住院,應考量其自主之意願。然而,該公約的解釋與適用如何,於實務上仍容有疑義。本文就臺灣桃園地方法院駁回療養院所執行強制住院之裁定,進行法律政策與法律釋義兩個不同面向的評析,探討身心障礙者權利公約與臺灣精神衛生法於強制住院措施與當事人自主意願尊重之張力。簡言之,原裁定於事實上之審酌或可更臻明確外,亦應注意該公約與既有法制之間的體系關係,以求更好的法規範解釋。
The autonomy of a party shall be considerated according to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, when the court decides the party shall receive compulsory admission. However, there are still problems in the explaination and application of the convention in legal praxis. Based on perspectives in legal policy and legal dogmatics, this article analyzes the decision of Taiwan Taoyuan District Court that rejected the enforcement of compulsory admission by a psychiatric hospital. It addresses the tension between compulsory admission and respect for autonomy as revealed in the encounter between the convention and the Mental Health Act in Taiwan. In summary, to enhance the quality of legal norm interpretation, the court decision not only should have deliberated more clearly on the relevant fact, but also should have paid more attention to issues of systematic coherence between the convention and the current legal institution in Taiwan.
