High value claim for catastrophic injuries
Susan Rodway QC and William Audland, acting for the claimant, received judgment for £4.2 million gross (£3 million net after a deduction for contributory negligence) in the case of Dixon v Were [2004] EWHC 2273 (QB). Of particular interest is the court’s resolution of the issue relating to the claimant’s disputed patient status, and the manner in which the principles set out in Master-Lister v Brutton & Co [2002] EWCA Civ 1889 were applied in the context of a claimant suffering from catastrophic brain and psychiatric injuries.
