6:09Now PlayingFormer justice of the UK's Supreme Court, Lord Sumption, tells Tom Swarbrick that 'the case an injustice has occurred is quite strong.'
The news comes in the wake of growing calls for the case to be reviewed, including from several experts, including some whose work was used as evidence in Letby's trial.
Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.
Since September, the Thirlwall Inquiry has been examining how the former neonatal nurse was able to murder or attack 14 babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Senior managers at the hospital wanted it paused until her case has been investigated as concerns over a potential miscarriage of justice grew.
But on Wednesday, Lady Justice Thirlwall refused their applications.
Evidence heard by the inquiry finished last month and the final report is set to be published in November.
