No Court of Appeal payout for parents
Usually it is only the successful negligence claims against solicitors that manage to make news headlines, but this week a tragic case at the Court of Appeal, which involved two parents’ claim against a firm of clinical negligence solicitors, managed to generate headlines despite the pair losing out in their bid for compensation.
The solicitor professional negligence claim had its origins in the 1998 birth of a girl born with a rare medical condition at Liverpool Women’s Hospital; this was despite scans and tests indicating no sign of abnormality.
