The Privy Council will have the final say over a medical negligence lawsuit brought by the mother of a 23-year-old man with cerebral palsy against the private clinic he was delivered at and her attending obstetrician.
Late last month, three Law Lords of the United Kingdom-based Privy Council granted permission for a final appeal in the lawsuit brought by Shelly-Ann Balwah, on behalf of her son Aeden, against Surgi-Med Clinic and Dr Marwan Abdulla.
Balwah's case was dismissed by a High Court Judge before being partially upheld by the Court of Appeal, which found that only Dr Abdulla was negligent.
