Abortion Test Case

Abortion Test Case

One of  Beverley ‘s toughest cases was when her client wanted an abortion and her husband tried to stop her. But fighting the case up through the courts was almost easier than dealing with the World’s press and TV who besieged the office and phones looking for interviews.  When the time was right Beverley appeared on ‘News at Ten’ and dealt with the world wide media coverage because everyone had an opinion.

As ever in complex cases Beverley worked with a QC and won  every appeal until the case finished .

For students and others interested, the case is reported here.
