Abstract
The article is focused on the issue of interference with personal integrity of a natural person and the role of judicial consent as legal justification authorising in certain circumstances to carry out an intervention interfering with integrity. It analyses the concept of integrity and the associated ambiguities and discrepancies; it discusses whether termination of continuing influence over body or mind of a person may be considered interference with integrity.
Subsequently, prerequisites for judicial decision in this respect are examined, together with relevant criteria to be followed by courts.
