ABSTRACT

The long awaited judgment by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Evans v The United Kingdom (Application no. 6339/05) was handed down on 10 April.

The outcome of the decision was not a surprise for the majority of commentators who have been awaiting this judgment. However, from the news reports surrounding the case it would appear that the decision was a surprise, and obviously a huge disappointment to Natallie Evans.
