An NHS Trust was found to have breached the Article 8 rights of family members when the body of a relative was allowed badly to decompose in a hospital mortuary. This is the first case where the Article 8 rights of family members have been found to be engaged in relation to the storage arrangements for a body of a deceased relative. Nicola Greaney represented the Trust.
