[2007] EWHC 310 (Admin)

A sentencing judge's power to impose a guardianship order on an offender under the Mental Health Act 1983 s.37 was subordinate to the willingness of the local authority to accept the offender into guardianship and, in reaching its decision, the local authority had a wide discretion as to the factors it was to take into account.
