Mr Cordell was assessed under the Mental Health Act at around
10:40hrs

on 03.02.16.
Dr Al-Allaq (independents 12 Doctor),
Dr Albazaz (independent s12 Doctor),
CJ and Nellie (Home Treatment Team workers),
Amal Pomphrey (Community Mental Health Nurse based at
Enfield Early Intervention Team)
All attended. A s135(1) warrant was obtained but not executed
as Mr Cordell gave access. A lock smith was present but their
services were not required as Mr Cordell opened the door. The
police were present but remained outside the property.
Mr Cordell’s home was somewhat cluttered with a large printer
by the door. However, it was clean and organised. He had food
in the kitchen.
His mother and a female friend were present. Mr Cordell was
expecting the assessment to take place. He was appropriately
groomed and dressed. He had put his dog in the garden. Mr
Cordell expressed his unhappiness about the warrant being
obtained. He said that if he had been sent an appointment letter,
he would give professionals access.
He mentioned on going issues with the police and that he had a
court case in February. His speech was somewhat rapid at the
start of the interview, but this appeared to be due to anxiety
rather than thought disorder. His speech slowed as the
interview went on. Mr Cordell did change topic of conversation
a number of times as there was particular information that he
wanted to share with the team. He spoke a project to start a
community internet site and showed those present a business
plan that was on his computer. He showed us documents which
he said were related to his court case. He pointed out a line in
the document that said that all the suspects were white and said
that this was part of his legal challenge to his Anti-Social
Behaviour Order.
He denied any symptoms of mental illness when asked about a
variety of psychotic symptoms. He denied suicidal ideation. He
spoke about difficulties he had with his upstairs neighbour
relating to noise disturbance. He showed us some letters which
said that his neighbour had written to him. He said that his
neighbour has an alcohol problem and a learning disability.
There was no evidence of distraction, confusion or that he was
responding to internal stimuli.
