In a recent ruling, a High Court judge has permitted doctors to limit the life-support treatment provided to Indi Gregory, a critically ill baby from Derbyshire, against the wishes of her parents. Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, hailing from Ilkeston, had challenged the ruling of Mr Justice Peel earlier this month. However, their appeal was dismissed by two Court of Appeal judges, Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Birss, following a hearing in London on Monday.
Indi Gregory’s parents argued that the inquiry conducted by Mr Justice Peel regarding their daughter’s condition had been inadequate. They also claimed that the High Court trial had been procedurally unfair and criticised Mr Justice Peel for denying them an effective opportunity to obtain expert medical evidence.
