After the ECHR published their judgment in PAPOSHVILI v. BELGIUM – 41738/10 (Judgment (Merits and Just Satisfaction) : Court (Grand Chamber)) [2016] ECHR 1113, that most immigration practitioners were seen to tout this case as a glimmer of hope and flexibility in the approach to Article 3 medical condition cases is not in doubt. Paposhvili was variously described as “shedding light”, “new hope”, “ a paradigm shift” and “ a new approach” to the consideration of human rights medical condition cases.
