From 8 February 2019 to 4 December 2020, he was locked up in his patient room in that facility. The applicant appealed against that measure to the Psychiatric Patients’ Complaints Board, which found against him. Relying on Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention, the applicant brought compensation proceedings before the courts. By a judgment of 14 October 2022, which became final on 22 May 2023, the High Court found the confinement lawful, except for a period between 11 August and 17 September 2020. It granted the applicant compensation in the amount of 7,500 Danish kroner (approximately EUR 1,000 at the relevant time) and rejected the remainder of his claim for compensation. QUESTION TO THE PARTIES Was the confinement of the applicant from 8 February 2019 to 4   December 2020 in a locked patient room in a high security psychiatric facility in breach of Articles   3 or 5 of the Convention (see, inter alia , Munjaz v. the United Kingdom , no. 2913/06, 17 July 2012)?
