Alfie Evans latest: Court of Appeal AGREES to hear parents' case to move son to Italy
The Court of Appeal will hear Alfie's case on Wednesday afternoon
The lawyers representing the family have confirmed a challenge to the High Court’s decision to prevent Tom Evans and Kate James from taking their son to Italy will be heard on Wednesday afternoon.
Alfie Evans’s life support was switched off on Monday night after doctors said nothing more could be done to save the toddler.
The decision to remove the life support came after the High Court ruled it would not be in the best interests of Alfie Evans to receive further treatment abroad.
At the time Mr Justice Hayden said: "This represents the final chapter in the case of this extraordinary little boy."
