Trial of forceps

Roger V Clements

Email: roger.clements{at}dial.pipex.com

Within the last two and a half years, two cases have come before the High Court (and several others –Kingsberry v Greater Manchester Strategic Health Authority [2005] and Purver v Winchester & East Leigh Healthcare NHS Trust [2007] – have been settled) concerning the practice of ‘trial of forceps’. Elsewhere in this issue, Martin Spencer QC discusses the legal aspects of those cases. The purpose of this article is to explore the origin and the rationale of the practice, and to set out details of the procedure.
