Ann: J&J/Ethicon Mesh Class Actions Update, page-6

I thought this phrase was particularly well written:

"Managing Director Simon Morrison said ‘This has been one of the longest running medical device classactions in Australian legal history, spanning more than a decade. The respondents fought the action at everyjuncture including all avenues of appeal. Shine is proud to have stayed in the fight and ultimately procure a$300 million settlement on behalf of the thousands of Australian women affected by these devices."

Without wanting to downplay the hurt and trauma of the victims, a thought must be spared for those who faught the matter on their behalf at no cost to them. Its easy to squabble over the spoils (as often happens with a large Lotto win) but spare a thought for the time, money and stress in fighting a behomoth who did EVERYTHING possible to dodge this bullet.
Where is the aggravated anger at the company who caused this issue and then threw potloads of money in an effort to wear down SHJ to then avoid their responsibility.
