The Claimant sought damages from the Defendant, a stage hypnotist, who, in the course of a public hypnosis, for which she volunteered, regressed her to the age of eight, thereby reviving memories of childhood abuse which she had suffered causing her considerable distress and putting her marriage under strain. The case was in fact one of a number of cases handled by the same firm of solicitors, and was intended to be the first to come to trial.
