Cerebral palsy teen’s lump-sum payout plea

Family wants case finalised to end ‘angst, anxiety and disruption’

The mother of a young man with cerebral palsy yesterday pleaded with a High Court judge to allow the court case to finally finish with a lump- sum payout, describing the last four years coming back to court for interim payouts as “horrendous”.

Connor Corroon, now 19, wants his case finalised with a lump-sum payout for his future care needs as the legislation to allow for periodic payments for the catastrophically injured pledged by ministers for justice is still not in place.
