Rejected petition Have courts here agree that fibromyalgia is a permanent disability

The courts in Catalonia have just declared fibromyalgia a permanent disability, so we need our own courts in northern Ireland to do the same here

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We cannot accept your petition because the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the issue you raise. Courts in the UK are independent of Government and Parliament. It would be up to the courts in Northern Ireland to come to their own decision about this.
