Successful defence

We publish case reports as an aid to MPS members, to alert them to pitfalls that have caught their colleagues unawares. We believe that these are an invaluable risk-management tool and, as such, they should be rooted in fact – i.e. based on actual events.

Here are some cases that were successfully defended, published in recent editions of Casebook.
