Neary faces 100 claims after ruling

A DISGRACED obstetrician faces claims for damages from more than 100 women after a High Court ruling yesterday.

The decision in favour of Rosemary Cunningham, allowing her to sue consultant Dr Michael Neary for damages, is expected to have a knock-on effect for other cases against him.

Mrs Cunningham took the action last year when she discovered her left ovary had been removed in 1991. Several of the other cases relate to allegedly unnecessary Caesarean hysterectomies carried out some years ago.
