A court has granted an extension to the limitation period for a pelvic mesh patient suing her doctor for negligence, finding she did not have the knowledge to bring the case before the three-year window closed and that her claim for substantial damages for personal injury appeared āwell foundedā.Ā
A woman allegedly injured by a defective pelvic mesh product has won her bid to bring a lawsuit against bankrupt Astora Women’s Health after she opted out of a class action, which promised her no more than $10,000 under a proposed settlement.
Shine Lawyers and barrister David Turner have once again dodged a negligence lawsuit over advice given about a $630,000 contractual dispute, with an appeals court upholding an earlier decision dismissing a bid to join the two parties.
