Typical Clients in Health &
Medical Law Matters Include...
World News! A Stunning Defeat for the Medical Regulator
In 2016, we were asked to appeal a matter against the Health Care Complaints Commission. A medium tier law firm had got the matter completely wrong.
On appeal, the HCCC “gave up” just before the final hearing and the experts that they had relied on to win in the past, effectively they surrendered by reversing their previous expert opnions against our client.
We won on costs as well as defended the issues. We would have won 100% of the costs had not the previous larger national law firm not made a mess of the underlying case.
We took on the Government for a doctor who was clearly the underdog, and he won!
A Successful Defence of a Complex Patents and Licensing Case
The leading world renowned surgical Professor on “phalloplasty” had 10 international patents. He claimed was the only one in the world who could guarantee length and girth successfully.
It was a major license agreement to our client and our client defended a NSW Supreme Court action sucessfully for a breach of the patent licensing aggrement and we won on costs.
In the NSW SC, the complexity lay in the medical procedures themselves and subsequent patents that were granted after the main patent had expired. What exactly was license and what was unique?
Colin CM Moore Pty Ltd v Sivathasan [2022] NSWSC 532
One of Australia's Largest Class Actions in Medicine and Surgery
With an attempt for the first time to extend concepts of product liability such as those that lay the groundwork for class actions in the Takata airbag cases, to the performance of cosmetic services for breast augmentation.
In the New South Wales Supreme Court and involving over 1200 women, over 18 defendants and over 30 senior and junior barristers, this is a behemoth of an action is ground-breaking and difficult at the same time.
Acting for a major insurance company where we are defending the main plaintiff.
The matter is continuing and after five years finally set down for trial late in 2023.
