Mum's fight for justice reaches Supreme Court five years after disabled daughter's death
The mum of a disabled woman who died aged 52 is hoping for justice when she takes her daughter's case to the Supreme Court this week.
The St Anne's woman was under constant supervision and deprived of her liberty pursuant to a standard deprivation authorisation granted by Blackpool City Council under the Mental Capacity Act. In the week before her death, Jackie suffered from digestive symptoms, a sore throat and limited appetite. On the day before her death, Jackie was acutely unwell.
Muriel has fought against that ruling in the years since, bringing judicial review proceedings which were dismissed first by the High Court and then the Court of Appeal. But permission to appeal was granted by the Supreme Court in February and Jackie's case will be heard there across November 22-23.
