The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care v PPE Medpro Limited
Charles Samek KC and Ashley Cukier, instructed by Daniel Astaire from Grosvenor Law on behalf of PPE Medpro, will appear in the Commercial Court in June for the 4-week trial of the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care’s claim relating to PPE supplied to the Government during the Covid-19 pandemic. The high-profile claim, for in excess of £120 million, alleges that gowns supplied by PPE Medpro were not sterile and/or failed to meet other contractual requirements so as to make them unusable. The Government seeks return of its initial spend, together with alleged multi-million pound costs in connection with the storage and disposal of the gowns. The claim is defended in its entirety by PPE Medpro on the grounds that the equipment, as supplied, was entirely compliant with the contractual requirements.
