Virginia Motion for Review of Order for Mandatory Outpatient Treatment is a legal mechanism through which a person subject to an order of Mandatory Outpatient Treatment (MOT) can challenge the order in the Circuit Court of the jurisdiction in which the MOT was issued. This motion is intended to be a protective measure to ensure that people subject to MOT orders have an opportunity to contest the order in court. There are two types of Virginia Motion for Review of Order for Mandatory Outpatient Treatment: a de Nova hearing and a hearing on the record. A de Nova hearing is a new hearing in which all evidence is heard and the decision is made based on the evidence presented. A hearing on the record is when the court reviews the evidence presented during the MOT hearing and makes a decision based on that. In both cases, the court may affirm, modify, or terminate the MOT order.
