Cases

Powell v Boladz & others

Facts

The Claimants' son died in 1990. They made various alleagations of conspiracy and cover-up against the doctors who had treated their son. In November 1992 the doctors put a notice up in their surgery waiting room refuting the allegations. In November 1995 the Claimants issued libel proceedings over that notice. The claim suffered various delays and stays while the Claimants pursued other avenues of investigation into the circumstances of their son's death. The action was subsequently discontinued against all but one doctor, who applied to strike it out as an abuse of process.
