On appeal, the measures were approved by the High Court of Eastern Denmark ( Østre Landsret ) on 11   June   2020, and the Supreme Court ( Højesteret ) on 8 November 2021.       QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Was the confinement of the applicant to a restraint bed on 10 October 2017 for 19 hours and 27 minutes in breach of Article   3 of the Convention (see, inter, alia , Aggerholm v. Denmark , no. 45439/18, 15   September 2020)?   2.     Was the confinement of the applicant to a restraint bed on 26 January 2019 for 10 hours and 25 minutes in breach of Article   3 of the Convention?
