Archie Battersbee’s parents lodge appeal at Supreme Court to stop doctors from withdrawing his life support
Archie's mum, Hollie Dance indicated yesterday she and Paul Battersbee would make an application for Supreme Court justices to consider their application for permission to appeal.On Monday morning Archie's mum Holly posted an emotional message of thanks to those who had offered her support"The strength you have all given us as a family is so heart touching and you have taken our little boy into your hearts and loved him.
But this was delayed due to the UN committee issuing a request to the UK Government on Friday urging it to "refrain" from taking him off life support while his case is under consideration by the committee. Sir Andrew said: "It is not part of the law of the United Kingdom ... and it is not appropriate for this court to apply an unincorporated international treaty into its decision-making process."
Alistair Chesser, chief medical officer for Barts Health NHS Trust, said: "Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences remain with Archie's family at this difficult time.
