r (conway) v secretary of state summary

30. e. Does the measure strike a fair balance between the rights of the individual and the interests of the community?13. The court noted that it was common ground that article 8(1) is interfered with by the prohibition in section 2. 16. Mr. Conway has to use a wheelchair and requires ever increasing levels of assistance with daily life, eating and bodily functions. He has suffered from a form of Motor Neurone Disease ("MND") since about 2012. That in itself would probably be insufficient to grant permission but when taken together with the approach to the evidence that was before the court, a serious question arises as to whether there was a sufficient analysis of the evidence and how the court resolved the serious disagreements in the expert evidence so as to conduct the proportionality exercise. The question was therefore whether section 2 can be justified under article 8(2) as a proportionate measure to promote one or more of the objectives set out in article 8(2). The court concluded that it was not bound by the House of Lords judgment in Pretty, as Mr. Conway's case is concerned with the application of article 8 in its domestic context and the court held that it was not bound by the judgment in Nicklinson, specifically there is no Bill presently before Parliament. It is important to distinguish his case from euthanasia. 24. In any event that part of the proportionality exercise which involves scrutinising whether a fair balance is achieved in light of the justification will involve value judgments which are informed by the evidence. There are seven grounds of appeal. The document also included supporting commentary from author Jonathan Herring.

He further noted that the interference with Mr Conway’s Article 8 rights was, on the facts, less significant than the interference in In accordance with government advice we have closed chambers and are operating remotely in order to safeguard our clients and members of staff.If you have a conference booked to take place in chambers we will take steps to make alternative arrangements, for example a telephone conference, or using Microsoft Teams or Skype. Neutral Citation Number: [2018] EWCA Civ 16 Case No: C1/2017/3068. The court then details the Parliamentary context. The procedural safeguards proposed by him are: 11. Issue Under s. 29 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 , the Secretary of State could decide, on advice by the trial judge, the Lord Chief Justice and departmental officials, the minimum period necessarily to be served by a prisoner before he was released on licence. Mr. Conway has taken a different approach to previous claimants in the key reported cases. Mr. Conway has to use a wheelchair and requires ever increasing levels of assistance with daily life, eating and bodily functions. In recent years, disabled and terminally ill applicants have brought repeated legal challenges to section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961, which makes it an offence intentionally to do an act capable of encouraging or assisting the suicide or attempted suicide of another. One element of the Divisional Court's thinking betrays a caution which Mr. Conway submits is misplaced.

Mr Conway did not regard removal of his ventilation as an acceptable way of ending his life, and wanted instead the option of being provided, by professionals, with a fatal dose of a drug which he would then administer himself.Mr Conway’s application before the Divisional Court was for a declaration that the blanket ban on the provision of assistance for suicide contained in section 2 of the Suicide Act was incompatible with his right of respect for his private life under Article 8 ECHR.It was agreed between the parties that the section 2 prohibition represented an infringement of Mr Conway’s right to respect for his private life under Article 8(1) (as established in The Secretary of State argued that section 2 was necessary and proportionate as a means of protecting the weak and vulnerable; giving proper respect to the sanctity of life; promoting trust between doctors and patients and safeguarding the provision of appropriate healthcare.Mr Conway put forward an outline of an alternative statutory scheme which, he argued, would safeguard relevant competing legitimate interests and sufficiently protect the weak and vulnerable in society. In this case, Mr. Conway has the option to insist on the refusal of his breathing equipment which would lead to his death. The primary issue before the Divisional Court was to determine whether the prohibition against assisting suicide set out in section 2 was justified under article 8(2) ECHR. 2. 7. R (Conway) -v- SSJ Sir Terence Etherton MR, Sir Brian Leveson P and Lady Justice King : 1. Ground 6 like Ground 3 is a balancing exercise that is in part dependent on the view the court takes about the other issues in the appeal including a review of the palliative care evidence, in particular that relating to the withdrawal of non invasive ventilation, and the interests of society generally in the justifications relied upon. Mr. Conway also submits that the Divisional Court misdirected itself in respect of the weight to be given to the role of Parliament and its conclusions over time. In a very rare outcome, in the case of R (Davis and ors) v Secretary of State for the Home Department ([ 2015] EWHC 2092 (Admin) the Divisional Court declared that the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIPA) is inconsistent with European Union law and therefore is “disapplied”, although the Court suspended the effect of its order until after 31 March 2016. Mr. Conway is 68. IN THE COURT OF APPEAL (CIVIL DIVISION) ON APPEAL FROM The Divisional Court Sales LJ, Whipple J and Garnham J
