The baby is critically ill at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham
The parents of a critically ill baby girl who has been at the centre of a life-support fight feel that their “right” to end treatment at home has been removed, appeal judges have been told. Dean Gregory and Claire Staniforth want specialists to withdraw treatment from eight-month-old Indi Gregory at their home in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.
Indi’s parents have challenged that ruling by Mr Justice Peel, and three Court of Appeal judges, based in London, are considering arguments at an online appeal hearing. Barrister Bruno Quintavalle, who represented Mr Gregory at the appeal hearing, told Lady Justice King, Lord Justice Moylan and Lord Justice Peter Jackson that Mr Justice Peel had originally made an order saying Indi’s parents could decide whether “extubation” would take place at home, in a hospital or in a hospice.
Mr Justice Peel had considered arguments relating to Indi’s end-of-life care at a private online hearing in the Family Division of the High Court. The judge, who is based in London, said he accepted the evidence of specialists. He has concluded that such a move would be in Indi’s best interests. Indi’s parents have failed to persuade Court of Appeal judges and judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, to overturn that treatment decision.
