A motion is required only when the ill person refuses medical care. You have to make sure that this person refuses to go to the hospital. Too often, motions are submitted for no reason, because no one bothered to ask the suffering person if she would like to go to the hospital for treatment. The person demanding medical care must prove she informed the ill individual of the situation. Where legal proceeding are required, you can hire the services of a lawyer.
Legal aid is available for eligible candidates.
In such cases, the person requesting legal aid is said eligible if whom he wishes to hospitalize is eligible. If it is not possible for you to convince someone to go to the hospital, you have the right to force her to do so by asking help from a police officer for example. They will decide on the best course of action to take depending on the circumstances. If someone's behaviour threatens to destroy property, injures someone else or commits any other offence against the Criminal Code, or even makes death threats, a police officer will arrest him. Furthermore, in accordance with powers conferred upon a police officer, if he has serious grounds to believe that a person's mental state presents a grave and immediate danger, he may, without the authorization of the court, take this person against his or her will to a hospital at the request of a close relative or a case worker.
