Retired clerk in care home should see husband before Christmas, judge told PA 11 December 2020, 2:06 pm A retired council clerk who has brain damage and is at the centre of a legal dispute over care home visits during the coronavirus pandemic should be able to “physically and in person” see her husband before Christmas, a judge has been told. Retired academic Dr John Davies has taken legal action on his wife Michelle’s behalf in a bid to ensure she gets visits tailored to her needs. Dr Davies, 60, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, says Mrs Davies, 58, should not be subject to a blanket visiting policy.
