Cancer misdiagnosis victims v Goodhealth Wanganui and Residual Health Management Unity

The action was on behalf of a large group of women who suffered cancer misdiagnoses through negligence at Goodhealth Wanganui. (Some women were never treated for cancer conditions they suffered, and others suffered operations or other treatments when they did not have cancer at all). A leading edge case at the time on the availability of exemplary damages outside the statutory bar on personal injury actions (arising under NZ's statutory accident compensation regime). Litigation traversed many years but the case was ultimately resolved with the Crown offering a very attractive and beneficial statements to all clients.
