A woman refused the chance to use frozen IVF embryos against her partner's wishes has won the right to take the case to the Court of Appeal.

Natallie Evans is contesting a High Court bar on the use of the embryos without her ex-partner's consent.

Ms Evans, 30, from Wiltshire, cannot conceive naturally after undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer.

Lord Justice Thorpse, giving permission for a full appeal which will be scheduled to last one-and-a-half days, said the case was not only of "very great interest" to Ms Evans, but there were also points of general public concern.

After the hearing, Muiris Lyons, Ms Evan's solicitor, said: "Natallie is delighted and relieved that her fight to save her embryos is not over. She has never given up hope."
