Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Multi-Party Actions Bill 2017: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Dave Coleman:

A practical example might be the vaginal mesh cases where the meshes themselves are the subject of litigation in the US and now in Europe, including Ireland. However, upon examination, sometimes the installation of the mesh is deemed to be negligent so one now has thrown up a second but personal and discrete issue in each case. It is how one can proceed with the main issue and allow for another forum or the adjournment of a second issue with no prejudice to allow the first issue to be decided and then the second issue on its merits.
