ECHR declares application by parents of Alfie Evans
inadmissible
The European Court of Human Rights has today declared the application
Evans
v. the United Kingdom (application no. 14238/18) inadmissible, finding that there was no appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.
The decision in the case was taken by a committee of three judges. The decision is final.
The Court has also rejected a request for an interim measure made by the applicants under Rule 39 of the
Rules of Court
to stay the order of the domestic courts permitting the withdrawal of Alfie Evans’s
treatment.
The applicants are the parents of Alfie Evans, born on 9 May 2016, who has been on ventilation in hospital after becoming seriously ill with a catastrophic and untreatable, progressive, neurodegenerative condition.
Both the request for an interim measure and the substantive application were received by the Court on 23 March 2018.
The parties to the case have been notified of the Court’s decision.
