3D scan that went wrong!

The Small Claims Court couldn't apply in the post linked above because it doesn't involve a consumer and retailer. The poster was self employed and his dealings were with a business.

[I have, in the past, been successful in claiming £100 (IRL) through the Small Claims Court.]

Our 3D scan in a Dublin 6 clinic worked perfectly. €150 / solicitors / courts etc - I wouldn't bother with all that.
 
Did you go to an actual medical clinic, or one of these new businesses that's been set up privately to do baby scans?

If it's one of these private business, then the Small Claims Court would definitely apply.

Helen didn't state if it was a private business. She merely stated that the woman who carried out the scan is qualified.

The OP has already stated that the SCC have refused to take on the case.

If it is a private business, then as RonanD john suggests in the quote above, the Small Claims Court may well be relevant.

whathome's post is very sad and puts the original post in perspective. IMHO HelenQ should let this one go, it's not worth the stress and, as for additional elective scans, I wouldn't bother with those either as there are safety concerns in relation over exposure to ultrasound.
 
Thanks for your post michaelm and it does show the sadness suffered by whathome.

I still intend to pursue it to some degree even if by a strongly worded letter as their attitude was appauling. There was no word of apology. Mistakes can happen but the lady in question and her husband were very very rude and abusive to us. All they need to do was say sorry or make some gesture.
