Quaatey v Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust: QBD 21 May 2020

Appeal from strike out of claim for damages for personal injury arising from clinical negligence on the basis that the expert medical evidence relied upon by the Claimant did not substantiate the claim; although not expressed in his Order, the Master also determined that, had he not struck out the claim, he would have entered summary judgment for the Defendant because of the very long delay between the alleged negligence and the commencement of the action in 2018 and the effect of that delay on the cogency of the evidence.
