And at no point did the solicitors refuse to take the case to the court in the 1st place The whole thing is hard to believe really

What a prat.

bloody hell stupid man

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 26/02/2009 19:06

I don't think there's any duty on a solicitor not to take a case just because it's ridiculous. S/he gets paid, after all.

Waste of court time though at least he had to pay costs.

Unbelievable!

My friend has decided to give up midwifery because of the fear of being sued.
Apparently the name of the attending midwife stays on the babies record for 20 yrs and they can be sued any time.

Some people just need to be told that they're frigging idiots.

FFS, what a pair of arseholes. He couldn't film the midwife saving his childs life. Boo fucking hoo.

ScorpiowithabigS · 26/02/2009 19:28

what a prick

differentID · 26/02/2009 19:28

I am glad the Irish legal systemn has some common sense.
Would he have sued the hospital I wonder if the midwife couldn't clear the baby's airways due to him getting in the way and the child sufferered with problems as a result?
Of course he would!

Janos · 26/02/2009 19:32

What an absolute arse, really. Do some people have no common sense?

I know..putting her through all that for his own self importance.

No doubt I'm TOTALLY being unfair but he looks like a a pompous, controlling, self important arse.

Janos · 26/02/2009 19:41

Can you tell I think he is self important ?

lollystar · 26/02/2009 19:53

It's really sad that people like him actually exist, the woman helped to save his child's life and he thanks her by suing her. Unreal...

Kimi · 26/02/2009 20:03

I THINK HE NEEDS TO SEE A SHRINK, HE IS CLEARLY A NUT JOB

myfunnynametaken · 26/02/2009 20:18

What an unbelievable arse

Pixel · 26/02/2009 20:48

'John McAuley wanted to film "every precious moment of the first minutes of his baby's life"'

If it wasn't for the midwife they would have been the only minutes. Stupid idiot.

edam · 26/02/2009 22:59

what a prick.

(Can't help wondering if the lovely Mrs prize-wanker is a mail order bride.)

Ready4anothercoffee · 26/02/2009 23:06

what an idiot.

scrooged · 26/02/2009 23:12

I feel sorry for the baby! Imagine finding out when they are older that their father put video recording it's birth before it's welfare Would he rather have had a dead baby as long as it looked good on camera? What a tosser!

Melscorp · 27/02/2009 07:01

What a waste of space!!!!! I too feel sorry for the child as it will have to grow up with a T*AT for a father!!!! He should have been sued for almost putting the child endanger, then he would have had a different attitude. Prized IDIOT.

Wizzska · 27/02/2009 12:18

But how did it get that far? Why did his Mrs not tell him he's and arse, and did the solicitors really believe there was a case? What an ignoramous.

georgimama · 27/02/2009 12:27

I'm really surprised that his solicitors wanted to run it.

It is an Irish case so their regulations are different, but in England and Wales you'd be obliged to pretty strongly advise your client not to continue with this stupid case. I would imagine his solicitors would have done this, though, some people are just too pig headed to take advice.
