Assisting in Suicide and the Forfeiture Rule [2025]

The law on assisted suicide is increasingly important. Assisting in suicide remains a criminal offence.

• How would you advise a couple where one of them had decided to go to Dignitas to end their life but needed the assistance of the other?
• Could you advise them without running a personal risk?

The forfeiture rule applies to assisting in suicide in the same way that it applies to other forms of unlawful killing.

• Can the effects be minimised?
• Can a post-death variation help?

After this session delegates will be able to advise clients who find themselves in this sad situation.
