Claire Toogood successfully defends rheumatologist in £12m paraplegic case
Claire Toogood, who was instructed by Clyde and Co on behalf of the MPS, successfully defended a rheumatologist who had allegedly caused a delay in diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis (Jabang v Wadman & Others [2017] EWHC 1894). Nicol J found that the rheumatologist had acted reasonably in deferring an MRI scan to a follow up appointment, which the Claimant chose not to attend. The claim was heard on the issue of liability alone, but the Claimant valued his claim in the region of £12 million.
