John M Joy & Co. LLP, along with counsel Liam Reidy SC, recently reached an interim settlement of €1,800,00.00 in the case of an Infant against the HSE. The boy, who has autism and is now 13, cannot be named by order of the court. The boy’s mother, who described him in court as a joy, said the settlement will help him get the therapies he requires. A further application for damages will be made to cater for the infant’s needs in 5 years time.
