Kavanagh Q.C.: 4x4

Bearing Witness

Kavanagh represents a Jehovah’s Witness mother when a hospital wants her 13-year-old son to have a blood transfusion that will save his life. When the mother refuses, Luke is made a ward of court and the hospital seeks judicial permission to go ahead with the transfusion. The hospital wins its action, and Luke is given a transfusion.
