- St George v Home Office, established negligence in caring for an epileptic prisoner who suffered a seizure following his admission and as a result of withdrawal from alcohol and drugs. On causation, the case established for the first time that a blow to the head caused status epilepticus (continuous seizures) and that the extensive brain damage was caused by the failure on the part of the prison medical staff to protect his airway. The case is currently awaiting the reserved judgement of the Court of Appeal.
