The European Court of Human Rights is holding a Grand Chamber hearing today 22 November 2006 at 9 a.m., in the case of Evans v. the United Kingdom (application no. 6339/05).
The applicant, Natallie Evans, is a 35-year-old British national who lives in Wiltshire (United Kingdom).
Ms Evans considered whether she should explore other means of having her remaining eggs fertilised, to guard against the possibility of her relationship with J ending. J reassured her that that would not happen.
On 12 November 2001 the couple attended the clinic for treatment, resulting in the creation of six embryos which were placed in storage and, on 26 November 2001, Ms Evans underwent an operation to remove her ovaries. She was told she would need to wait for two years before the implantation of the embryos in her uterus.
In May 2002 the relationship between the applicant and J ended and subsequently, in accordance with the 1990 Act, he withdrew his consent to the continued storage of the embryos or use of them by the applicant.
