A 32-year-old mother of two who is seriously ill with cancer and is suing over the alleged misinterpretation of her cervical smear slides, will have to wait until February to have her case heard at the High Court.
Lynsey Bennett’s case had been set down for an urgent hearing on January 20, but US laboratory Quest Diagnostics in the High Court yesterday secured a two-week adjournment of the action until February,
Her counsel Jeremy Maher told the court the two-week adjournment is a very significant ask for the young mother.
“Two weeks to her is an infinity,” Mr Maher said.
