A High Court judge is preparing to reconsider evidence in the case of a five-month-old baby who tried to breathe after being diagnosed as dead by doctors.
The parents recently lost a High Court fight when Mr Justice Hayden decided that doctors could lawfully stop providing life-support treatment to the boy, who is on a ventilator at a London hospital. But they mounted an appeal and argued they did not have a fair hearing.
Three Court of Appeal judges on Friday upheld their challenge and ordered a fresh trial before a different judge. Mr Justice Poole is due to begin reconsidering issues at a preliminary hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London on Tuesday. A second trial is expected in the next few weeks.
