  • Title: In re Guardianship of Schiavo.
    Author: Florida, District Court of Appeal, Second District.
    Journal: Wests South Report; 2001; 792():551-64. PubMed ID: 15179945.
    Abstract:
    The District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District, on 11 July 2001(Schiavo II), determined that the parents of Terri Schiavo, a married woman in a persistent vegetative state, had standing as parties in the interest of their daughter as a ward of the court and therefore were allowed to request equitable relief from the lower guardianship court's order authorizing termination of Schiavo's life support. A motion for relief could be supported either by new evidence, such as discovery of an advance directive, or by a substantive change in circumstances, such as medical research discovering a cure for a terminal condition.
