The applicant brought an application for a constitutional exemption to permit a physician-assisted death, along with a motion for confidentiality measures including a publication ban and an in camera hearing.
The court granted the publication ban and use of pseudonyms but denied the request for an in camera hearing, citing the open court principle.
On the main application, the court found that the applicant suffered from a grievous and irremediable medical condition causing enduring and intolerable suffering, and that the request was made freely by a competent adult.
The application for physician-assisted death was granted.
