The Times Online says £5mOriginally posted by Denny View PostLeslie Ash wins ‘£500,000’ in hospital superbug settlement
Taken from today's Times Online. She only sued for £1m so she couldn't be awarded more than that and she got half what she sued for.
It's Deja-vu all over again!

Thanks for asking
I am not a judge, but I've been to court a couple of times as a witness to defend friends and know that money can buy you a nice barrister who will argue your case with a judge for as long as it takes. I won't go as far as saying that judges and barristers are on first name terms. I won't even dream of saying that occasionally this may result in a handsome 'thank-you present' from the barrister, as this wouldn't be very British, so I repeat this is a lie.Comment

Just answer the question please counsellor. What would your verdict have been as you stated the one given was ridiculous and not just?Comment
