A High Court judge has been accused of acting unlawfully when giving medics permission to take a disabled man from home to hospital and authorising the use of force.

Aamir Mazhar, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, says an order made by Mr Justice Mostyn, who is based in the Family Division of the High Court in London, infringed his human rights.

Mr Mazhar, 27, says his rights to liberty and respect for private and family life were breached when he was "forcibly removed" from his home in Birmingham 13 months ago.

He has taken legal action against Liz Truss, the Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, who is disputing his claim.

A more senior judge is analysing the case at a trial in the Family Division of the High Court in London.

Sir Ernest Ryder, a judge in the Court of Appeal, has been asked to declare that Mr Justice Mostyn's order was "unlawful".

The trial is expected to end later this week.
