Deputy High Court Judge Dexter Dias on Thursday approved a settlement, which includes payment of a lump sum of nearly £7 million, after the relative sued the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust on the boy’s behalf. William Latimer-Sayer QC, who represented the boy and his relative, told the judge that such cases were “rarely” brought against Great Ormond Street. “It is quite unusual to be bringing a case like this.” :: In a separate case, another judge was told on Thursday that relatives of an eight-year-old boy left with severe injuries shortly after birth had reached agreement with bosses at a Surrey hospital trust. Judge Jonathan Simpkiss approved a settlement between the boy’s family and Frimley Park NHS Foundation Trust at a High Court hearing in London.
