The parents of a 12-year-old boy at the centre of a life support dispute have won an appeal for his case to be heard again.
Archie's parents Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee have disagreed with the hospital, saying his heart was still beating and they wanted treatment to continue.The family's legal team argued that Mrs Justice Aburthnot, at the High Court, had made errors and that the family and Archie's beliefs had not been given enough weight in her decision-making.
Lawyers for Barts Health Trust, which runs the hospital, argued previous hearings and the judge's ruling had dealt with best interest considerations.Image source,Appeal judges Sir Geoffrey Vos, the Master of the Rolls; Sir Andrew McFarlane, the president of the Family Division of the High Court and most senior family court judge in England and Wales; and Lady Justice King, ruled that a new hearing should take place.
They made no criticism of Mrs Justice Arbuthnot and indicated that they would give reasons for their decision at a later date.Speaking after the hearing, Archie's mother Ms Dance said: "We're delighted. We wanted another hearing and we've got everything we wanted."Find BBC News: East of England on
