Each person ordered by the court to be examined is evaluated individually and takes part in the expert examination in person. The expert's report shall be evaluated by the court, and if the person concerned disagrees with the expert's report, they may apply to the court for a Reply from the National Forensic Psychiatric Service No. 1S-259, 21 September 2022. 79
