This is a renewed application for permission to proceed in an application for judicial review… The core challenge is to the coroner’s ruling dated 25 April 2024 that article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights is not engaged. [1]
Doctors concluded that M had suffered a brain injury that could not be survived. [12]
The injury might have been from a fall, despite no one witnessing it, but it might not have been. [21]
the state of the medical evidence on causation does not rise above a possible causal contribution from a fall that was unwitnessed and thus essentially conjectural. [24]
Failure to take reasonable measures: this ground is not arguable [25]
Risk to life: no arguable basis [29]
permission must be refused in respect of the challenge to the unlawfulness of the coroner’s conclusion on article 2 [30]
