The settlement was made without admission of liability by the National Maternity Hospital, which denied all of the claims.

Counsel for Finn Phillips, Jeremy Maher SC, said it was their contention that he is "on the autism spectrum as a result of issues which arose during the course of his birth".The court was told Finn was "born limp and unresponsive and he had to have immediate resuscitation".
