CORONER CRITICISES HOSPITAL OVER PATIENT’S MORPHINE DEATH
A CORONER has criticised a hospital after a woman died when she was left unmonitored after being given three doses of morphine.
Louise Mckenzie, 28, a mother of 4 children under 10 was taken to King’s Mill Hospital in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on 5 August 2007.

Introduction
In this month’s Review we look at a claim for substantial compensation arising from an employer’s failure to follow a contractual disciplinary procedure and a case dealing with the issue of whether an employee can complain of disability discrimination based on having a “perceived” disability.
We consider a sex discrimination claim brought by a man due to a woman being given inflated scores in a redundancy selection process where she was absent on maternity leave.
We also provide an update on the new Government’s intentions for employment law and report on the recently published Tribunal Annual Statistics for 2009/2010.
