This article explores and outlines four possible pathways for law reform in the area of compulsory mental health admission and treatment in Hong Kong: the (i) abolition, (ii) risk of harm, (iii) mental capacity and (iv) consensus pathways. The discussion of each pathway takes into account local challenges in implementation, as well as Hong Kong's international commitments for the protection of rights. In outlining these pathways for reform, the authors intend to also provide a blueprint for regulatory change in other jurisdictions that are in the process of reforming their mental health laws.
(i) 废除，(ii) 伤害风险，(iii) 精神能力和 (iv) 共识途径。每种途径的讨论都考虑到了实施方面的本地挑战，以及香港在保护权利方面的国际承诺。在概述这些改革途径的同时，作者还旨在为其他正在改革其精神卫生法的司法管辖区提供监管改革的蓝图。
