A 12-year-old girl who was allegedly paralysed from the chest down from an operation to treat curvature of her spine has settled her High Court action for €9.4m. The court was told the case was a very complex one and the settlement was without admission of liability. Her counsel Liam Reidy SC told the court Aimee, who had curvature of the spine, had an independent life before the operation. Aimee’s mother Jacinta told the court Aimee is a great child. Approving the €9.4m settlement Mr Justice Kevin Cross said it wa a very good one.
