An activist lawyer turned judge in Northern Ireland has been forced to allow an application for his own recusal after being publicly challenged over his impartiality in a landmark case involving the criminalisation of prayer outside an abortion clinic.

A group of Monmouthshire County Councillors have issued a formal legal warning to the Council over its controversial decision to lease the historic Carnegie Library in Abergavenny to the Monmouthshire Muslim Community Association (MMCA) for use as a mosque and community centre.

A judge presiding over the appeal of Claire Brennan, the first person convicted under Northern Ireland’s abortion clinic censorship zone law, has been reported for serious concerns over judicial impartiality.

A group of people who have outlived 'six months to live' prognoses have gathered outside Parliament to oppose the assisted suicide bill.

Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern, comments on today's report from the Nuffield Trust on Assisted Dying in Practice.

The report looks at international experiences of implementing a change in the law on assisted suicide and discusses the challenges the UK health care system might face if the law is changed here.
