Manx Duty of Care previously said it would take legal action against IOM Government if it became law

A campaigner who threatened to take legal action against the Isle of Man Government should the Assisted Dying Bill get Royal Assent says he's 'considering his options'.

In Tynwald yesterday, it was confirmed the controversial bill would now become law, after previously being blocked by the UK Ministry of Justice.

Graham McAll is from Manx Duty of Care, a campaign group which is against Assisted Dying.

In June he warned that, even with the proposed amendments, it would be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights, and wrote to government warning of his plan to take legal action should it go ahead.

He's told Manx Radio it's something he's still prepared to do:

Isle of Man Government has been invited to respond.
