‘The claim was brought against a dental practice for negligent dental treatment performed by dentists based at the practice. The allegations were based on breaches of non-delegable duties of care by the practice. The Defendant took an approach to defending the litigation which has become all too common, by bringing in the individual dentists as Part 20 defendants and in effect delegating defence of the claim to them. The defence pleaded no response to the allegations of negligence on the basis that the Defendant had a lack of direct knowledge of the events in question. Despite this pleading, District Judge Woosnam at first instance granted permission for the Defendant to rely on expert evidence to defend the claim against one of the dentists who had been unresponsive to the litigation.’
