Robb v Belfast Health And Social Care Trust - Clinical Negligence Amendment Application

Master Harvey granted the plaintiff's application to amend her statement of claim in a clinical negligence action against Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, allowing new allegations concerning a hospital fall on 17 December 2014, VAC dressing mismanagement, and lack of informed consent regarding reimplantation surgery in March 2015.

Maryland Supreme Court Rules on AG Disclosure of Grand Jury Material in Child Abuse Investigation

The Maryland Supreme Court reversed lower courts, holding that while the Attorney General had constitutional authority under the Hogan Directive to investigate child sexual abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the interest of public accountability does not establish a 'particularized need' sufficient to justify disclosure of secret grand jury material over the objection of uncharged individuals. The court reversed the Appellate Court's judgment and directed the Circuit Court to deny OAG's motion to disclose Petitioners' identities in the 456-page report on alleged clergy abuse.

CareFirst BlueChoice v. Skipper: IVF Coverage Required, Class Action Mootness

The Maryland Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Court's judgment in CareFirst BlueChoice v. Skipper, holding that insurers cannot exclude embryo thawing from IVF coverage under Maryland law. The court rejected CareFirst's mootness argument, extending its precedent in Frazier v. Castle Ford to hold that a defendant's tender of individual relief to a putative class representative does not moot a class action if the representative has not had a reasonable opportunity to seek class certification. On the merits, the court held that Exclusion 16.11 in the policy does not apply to any medically necessary expenses arising from IVF procedures under Insurance Article § 15-810(c) and the regulatory interplay between COMAR 31.11.06.06B(11) and Administration Bulletin 13-01. The case was remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.
