Subsequently, the General Medical Council (GMC) found the doctors innocent of serious professional misconduct and the Crown Prosecution Service declined to bring charges against them. Ms Glass then took her case to the European Court of Human Rights. The Glass family argued that when the dispute arose, the hospital should have involved the courts to clarify whether, despite his mother’s objections, the …
