Surrogacy costs after medical negligence not ruled out
In a first such claim in the UK, stating that surrogacy costs should not be ruled out as the basis for damages in future negligence
cases, Mrs Justice Ebsworth rejected the claim of Patricia Briody. Left infertile due to clinical negligence when she was
aged 20, now 46 she sought £400,000 to cover the cost of a surrogate child.
