Smith v Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust (QBD) 3/7/06

Description

Breach of Duty. Where surgeons had caused injury to the Claimant during a radical hysterectomy operation, their employer was not liable as the damage caused was a recognised risk of the surgery albeit less than 1% and 5%, respectively, and the expert evidence did not conclude on such facts as were proved that the Bolam test was met.
