Terminally ill man given permission to challenge law on assisted dying after Court of Appeal win

Terminally ill man given permission to challenge law on assisted dying after Court of Appeal win A man who is terminally ill with motor neurone disease has been given permission to challenge the law on assisted dying.

Retired college lecturer Noel Conway took his case to the Court of Appeal after he was refused permission to bring a judicial review over the blanket ban on providing a person with assistance to die.

Last month a panel of High Court judges rejected his bid to change the law, saying it would be "institutionally inappropriate" for the court to challenge the decision of Parliament. The Daily Telegraph
