Reaney -v- University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust The sequel: a further judgment but still riddled with uncertainty?

In November 2015 the Court of Appeal determined an issue of law and referred the case back to Mr Justice Foskett (the trial judge) for the quantification of Mrs Reaney’s damages.

The Paralympic Games: Born from rehabilitation treatment for spinal injuries
The Olympic Games may have come to a close, but we can still look forward to all the action of the Paralympic Games, due to take place in Rio between 7 – 18 September 2016. What I did not realise until recently was the fact that the Paralympic Games owe a debt to the treatment of spinal injury patients during and shortly after World War II.
