Iqbal v Whipps Cross University NHS Trust
[2007] EWCA Civ 1190; [2008] PIQR P9
Key Principle
Bound by Croke v Wiseman, the Court of Appeal held that a young child grievously injured at birth could not recover lost-years damages, while expressing the view that Croke was inconsistent with Pickett and Gammell — a tension only later resolved by overruling Croke.
