If you need assistance with an appeal at the Consent and Capacity Board (CCB), appeal a decision of the CCB or with a matter at the Ontario Review Board, this is where to start. If you are being detained in a hospital due to mental health concerns or/and the hospital wants to impose a medical treatment you do not agree with, you have appeal options that could be available to you to fight your detention and/or oppose that treatment. Cornelia Mazgarean conducted numerous hearings on such cases and is prepared to adequately represent your interests. Misunderstandings and stigma about mental health is still something that the society struggles with. Cornelia Mazgarean will ensure that you have a fair hearing by obtaining all the relevant documentation and speaking with witnesses, preparing you and any witnessed for the hearing and representing you before the Board. She will make sure that if you choose to testify, you will have a fair chance to tell your story and that your voice will be heard. If you wish to appeal a decision the CCB already made, Cornelia Mazgarean can assist you appealling that decision in the Superior Court.

When somebody is found not-criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder or there is an issue of fitness to stand trial, the Ontario Review Board is the appropriate jurisdiction.   The Ontario Review Board is established under the Criminal Code of Canada. The Board is made up of judges, lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists and public members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Cornelia Mazgarean has the legal expertise to assist you in such cases. She worked on numerous cases where clients were found not criminally responsible and understands that it can be a long and cumbersome process and a frightening experience, where the stigma of mental health is a considerable consideration. Cornelia Mazgarean will help make the process as easier as possible and assist you in navigating its complex requirements.
