Northern Ireland abortion case decision due tomorrow
The High Court in Belfast has heard submissions on
SPUC's application for leave to apply for a judicial review of the Northern Ireland Department of Health's guidance on abortion.
Having listened to the grounds on which SPUC believes the guidance
requires revision, counsel for the health department denied the
guidance was improper. The
Family Planning Association (FPA)
was also represented at the hearing. Mr Justice Weatherup reserved his
decision on the application until 10am tomorrow (Tues 30 June).
