Ethics briefings

In July 2013, the Court of Appeal ruled on an assisted dying case brought by Paul Lamb, a 58-year-old man who has been quadriplegic and without function in any of his limbs, apart from a little movement in his right hand, since a car accident in 1990.1 Mr Lamb was permitted by the Court to take over...

The legal prohibitions on those providing assistance constitute a disproportionate interference with Article 8 rights to a private and family life (this was raised by both Martin and Mr Lamb). The Director of Public Prosecution's (DPP) policy statement on factors which he will take into account when considering whether or not to exercise his discretion in favour of prosecuting does not satisfy the …
