The High Court has approved a hybrid hearing of an action by a couple who claim their unborn child was aborted after they were wrongly told it had a fatal foetal abnormality. On Tuesday, the couple’s lawyers applied to the court for a hybrid hearing, something that would involve the case being heard with some participants present in court and others participating via video-link. Counsel said the case was one of the “highest sensitivity” and is being completely contested by the defendants. Credibility was in contest and if ever a case was suited for a hybrid hearing, it was this, he said. She says she relied totally on this advice and the termination was carried out on March 14th 2019 in the clinic.
