Mr. Ciarán Breen:

On the aggregation of compensation which would come from the different factors in a case, including the failure to materially disclose something and negligence, if there is negligence in the reading of a test result, no lawyer will want separate compensation amounts to be paid. It would be a much better and simpler approach to take each case as it came and then to aggregate the compensation in order that a woman would receive full and final compensation. When she has been through that process, she knows that she has dealt with all of the defendants.
