On the face of it, I'm not very convinced. It sounds like they used a lot of legal tapdancing in the hospital to keep the patient's closest people away from her, and the courts liked how they used that tapdancing, so they kept it up.

(I note with interest that before I used "tapdancing," I had "shuck-n-jive" in there, and it's recent work in your journal and others that made me notice that that's not an appropriate term.
