    Court
    Court of Final Appeal
    Case number
    FACV16/2005

    The appeal was allowed: the action was reinstated to enable the appellant to plead a negligent failure to warn claim because that cause of action is reasonably arguable and was not abandoned; particulars (g) and (h) were disallowed because they improperly alleged negligent treatment rather than mere failure to warn; the matter is remitted for amendment with specified procedural timetables and specified costs orders.
