Big welcome to @SteveBroach!
It’s the strangest time to be moving chambers - but I’ve always found the @39PublicLaw barristers to be outstanding colleagues and opponents, and I’m delighted to be joining them

Our latest article on the legal and ethical position of withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, led by my impressive colleague Alex Ruck Keene @Capacitylaw @39PublicLaw published in BMJ’s Journal of Medical Ethics @JME_BMJ
Article by @capacitylaw @Annabel39 in @JME_BMJ
"Withdrawing life-sustaining treatment: a stock-take of the legal ðical position". Highlights focus on person as an individual rather than generalised assumptions re treatment 'burden' or quality of life

The #SupremeCourt’s first ever female majority (#LadyHale leading the charge) has held in Re D that parents cannot consent to confinement of incapacitated 16/17 year olds. An honour to have acted for the successful appellant and witness legal history in the making #spiderbrooch
The other big Supreme Court decision for this week - Re D - is now out: supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/u… (and see summary below)
Alex Ruck Keene and Annabel Lee acted for the Appellant (D) through the OS, and Victoria Butler Cole for the EHRC
@Capacitylaw @TorButlerCole @Annabel39
Possibly the nicest tweet ever! Always a pleasure @Simpson_millar

This is a really important read from @ChildrensComm - almost 1,500 children being detained in institutions in England. Also unknown numbers of “invisible children” where deprivation of liberty is authorised by the court or not at all #deprivationofliberty
