Quote:
The father of a suspected burglar left in a coma after being tackled by a homeowner has failed in a legal challenge.
Denby Collins, 38, was tackled and restrained when he entered a house in Gillingham, Kent in December 2013.
His father challenged a law introduced in April 2013 giving householders the right to use "disproportionate force" against intruders.
The High Court has ruled the law is not incompatible with human rights laws.
