Posted May 14th, 2008 in damages, law reports, negligence, solicitors, wrongful birth by sally

Whitehead and Another v Hibbert Pownall & Newton (a Firm)

Court of Appeal

“Where solicitors had negligently failed to prosecute a claim for damages for clinical negligence on behalf of a mother in respect of future losses for a wrongful birth, those losses were curtailed by the death of the mother; the solicitors were not liable in a subsequent claim for professional negligence brought on behalf of the mother’s estate for what amounted to a windfall in that, had her claim been brought to a successful conclusion before her death, the recoverable damages would have not have been curtailed by her death but would have extended to cover the costs of care into the future.”
