LONDON (Christian Concern) – The U.K. Supreme Court has now refused to allow Archie Battersbee’s parents more time to take their legal case to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities (UNCRPD).

The stay of execution granted by the Court of Appeal expired on Thursday 28 July, and the family had applied to the Supreme Court to prolong that stay urgently.

However, Lord Hodge – the deputy president of the Supreme Court – Lord Kitchin and Lord Stephens have now refused permission.

Lawyers are seeking assurances from the hospital trust that life-support will not be removed while the family make their application to the UNCRPD, despite the hospital being now legally able to remove it.
