Boyd Cuttance died of a rare fungal form of meningitis in 2012. Last year his mother Elizabeth faced off against the office of the Attorney-General at the Dunedin District Court. Cuttance then took her case to the High Court at Dunedin in June where the appeal was heard by Justice Rachel Dunningham. "I am satisfied that Dr X, whether Dr X saw the notes or not, took considerable care to elicit the relevant history from Mr Cuttance. Dr X did not merely consider his presentation on the day in isolation," she said.
