Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award. 
Default “Medical Episode” Catchphrase

Maybe someone familiar with case law or more recent years’ prosecutions can comment - I’m seeing this (above expression) cited in social chatter a whole lot more in recent times.

Is it carrying weight in local courts/tribunals where perhaps previously people just appealed to the mental health provisions of law? Or is it simply a transplanted Americanism that means nothing at the pointy end of justice/jurisprudence?
