UK court involved in euthanasia decisions should be open to public scrutiny, says court's judge

The head of an English which makes decisions on the treatment of the mentally-incapacitated has said that his court should be opened up to public scrutiny. Sir Nicholas Wall, head of the Court of Protection, said he is "increasingly encouraging judges who deal with life and death cases and those that involve the public interest - that is, deprivation of liberty safeguards or life support machine cases - either to sit in open court or to publish their judgments anonymously. The public deserve to know about how they are decided." [Guardian, 6 November]
