Alfie Evans' parents lose legal fight to move son to Italian hospital
Tom Evans and Kate James had hoped to persuade appeal court judges that their 23-month-old son Alfie should receive life-support treatment overseas.
The parents of a 23-month-old boy at the centre of a life-support treatment battle have lost their latest legal battle to have their child treated overseas. He argued that it was a deprivation of Alfie's liberty in not letting him travel to a different hospital.
Mr Evans and Ms James have previously taken the Bootle toddler's case to the High Court, Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
Mr Justice Hayden said flying Alfie to a foreign hospital would be wrong and pointless.
However, the family have lost their latest court battle, with judges dismissing their appeal.
Justice Moylan denied permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
