A High Court judge ruled that doctors could lawfully limit the treatment they provide to seven-month-old Indi Gregory.
A High Court judge recently ruled that doctors could lawfully limit the treatment they provide to seven-month-old Indi Gregory – against the wishes of her parents, Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth, who are both in their 30s and from Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
Mr Justice Peel heard evidence about Indi’s condition at a private trial in the Family Division of the High Court, at the Royal Courts of Justice complex, in London.The judge heard that Indi, who was born on February 24 2023, has mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that saps energy, and is being treated at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham.
Specialists say she is dying and bosses at the hospital’s governing trust asked Mr Justice Peel to rule that doctors could lawfully limit treatment provided to her.A spokesman for the centre said a Court of Appeal hearing was due to be staged in London on Monday October 23.Barrister Emma Sutton KC, who led Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s legal team, told Mr Justice Peel that Indi was critically ill and had an exceptionally rare and devastating neurometabolic disorder.
Mr Justice Peel considered evidence behind closed doors but allowed journalists to attend the hearing and ruled that Indi, her parents and the hospital can be named in reports.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
