Extract

In Rees v. Darlington Memorial Hospital NHS Trust Ltd. [2002] EWCA Civ 88, [2002] 2 W.L.R. 1483, the Court of Appeal (Hale and Walker L.JJ., Waller L.J. dissenting) ruled that although the birth of a healthy but unplanned child brings blessings, it also brings costs, and that a disabled mother of such a child could be compensated for the extra costs of child care occasioned by her disability if the birth resulted from medical negligence.
