During the birth, he did so and saw his wife’s organs and blood, which he says caused the onset of a psychotic illness., alleging the hospital breached its duty of care it owed to him and was liable to pay him damages.
Koppula, who represented himself during proceedings, assessed his damages for psychological injury at $1 billion.Teens learn fate for killing 16-year-old in ‘frenzied, savage’ attackIn a judgement handed down on Monday, Justice James Gorton dismissed the claim, labelling it an “abuse of process”.According to the judgement, the law does not allow a person to recover damages for non-economic loss unless their injury is a “significant injury”.
Koppula underwent a medical examination, with a panel determining that “‘the degree of psychiatric impairment resulting from the injury to the claimant alleged in the claim does not satisfy the threshold level’.”The hospital then applied to have the proceedings dismissed. “I am therefore satisfied that the legal effect of the Medical Panel’s determination is that Mr Koppula is simply unable, as a matter of law, to recover damages for non-economic loss,” Justice Gorton said.
