In this part of the law, when you hear the word party, it refers to different people depending on the situation. If someone is making an application under section 29(c) or 46(1), the parties involved are you, the patient, and the responsible clinician who is looking after you. If someone is making an application under section 34(1), the parties involved are the person making the application, you, the patient, if you are not the one making the application, and the responsible clinician. You are considered a party in these situations, which means you have a role in what is happening.
