COVID-19 – Is Covid-19 sowing the seeds for future litigation?

SAGE Publishing and Medico-Legal Journal have published an article by Toby Riley-Smith QC, Adam Heppinstall & Freya Foster

We consider various types of litigation that may follow the Covid-19 pandemic, including: claims against National Health Service (NHS) Trusts by patients who have contracted the coronavirus (or by their bereaved families), claims by NHS staff against their employer for a failure to provide any or adequate personal protective equipment or testing, commercial claims arising from the procurement of medical supplies, the potential liabilities to those who suffer adverse reactions to any vaccine and the guidance issued by the regulators in relation to subsequent disciplinary action.
