In the event that the practitioner who prescribed the hospitalisation requests communication of the file, this communication may only take place with the agreement of the patient, the person with parental authority or the person in charge of the legal protection measure with representation relating to the person when the person concerned is not capable of expressing his/her wishes. Except in emergencies, in the event of disagreement between the protected adult and the person responsible for his or her protection, the judge will authorise either of them to make the decision, at their request or ex officio. In the event of the patient’s death, the agreement is given by his or her heirs.
