Sir James Munby, former president of the family division of the High Court, has criticized the Assisted Dying Bill, stating it lacks adequate safeguards and could lead to secret court hearings.
Despite Kim Leadbeater's claims that the Bill offers the strictest protections globally, Sir James Munby raised critical concerns about how judicial involvement would be ensured in the decision-making process.
Munby concluded that the Leadbeater Bill is significantly deficient in providing necessary safeguards as it could allow judges to decide cases without the patient’s input.
Under the proposed legislation, terminally ill adults could seek assistance in ending their lives, but major legal implications remain unaddressed, raising concerns about the judicial process.
