On Deputy Bríd Smith's point on signing a waiver, I did not read anything about doing so. If the High Court awards an individual X amount, based on current observable damages to date and perhaps adding a risk-adjusted amount for a recurrence, is it implicit in accepting a judgment that the individual is saying that should she have a recurrence of cancer in three years' time, she will not be able to come back to court and make a case about the link if she wishes to come back to prove there is a link? Does the individual lose the ability to do that in a few years' time, once one accepts an award?
