David Tracey has filed a lawsuit against Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust and the Department of Health alleging that providers at Addenbrooke's Hospital wrote a DNR order for his wife without her consent and without any discussion with her. (Guardian 1; Guardian 2) Janet Tracey had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer but died at the hospital 16 days after breaking her neck in a car accident.
Apparently, since directly applicable health law permits unilateral DNR orders, Tracey is basing his claim on the 1998 Human Rights Act.
