42. An institution or a physician may provide the care and treatment required by the state of health of a minor 14 years of age or older with his consent without being required to obtain the consent of the person having parental authority; the institution or the physician must however inform the person having parental authority in the case where the minor is sheltered for more than twelve hours, or of extended treatment.

Where a minor is under 14 years of age, the consent of the person having parental authority must be obtained; however, if that consent cannot be obtained or where refusal by the person having parental authority is not justified in the child’s best interest, a judge of the Superior Court may authorize the care or treatment.
