Abstract
Since August 1st, 2011, all patients hospitalised without consent now have the right for their hospitalisation to be reviewed by the liberty and detention judge. The open court principle being made public raises questions regarding the confidentiality of medical records as well as the protection of the patient against any possible stigmatisation.
