Why is it that the other High Courts overseas tend to rule against these claims?
But no, the bleeding hearts in Oz insist the airlines were well aware, the medical cases documented and were hence directly liable.
The interesting fact is that one victim apparently underwent surgery prior to the flight, was instructed to not fly and was not wearing the surgical stockings provided to prevent blood clots as recommended by their surgeon!

Bloody lawyers trying to get a name for themselves and earn some quick bucks in the process hoping for a prior settlement and possibly to the detriment of their clients!
