These sums have been advanced from, and will be repayable
to the Civil Contingencies Fund.
An action was heard before the Court of King's Bench in
February, 1924, brought by Mr. W. S. Harnett against
Dr. Bond, a Commissioner of the Board of Control, and
another on the ground of alleged wrongful imprisonment
of plaintiff as a lunatic. Judgment was entered for the
plaintiff. Defendants appealed and the Court of Appeal
allowed the appeal and ordered a new trial as between
plaintiff and Dr. Bond. The plaintiff appealed against this
judgment to the House of Lords who dismissed the appeal.
A sum of £250 was then paid into Court on behalf of the
defendant, Dr. Bond, with a denial of liability. A settlement
of the case was subsequently arrived at on the following
basis; the plaintiff (a) to take out of Court in settlement
of his claim to damages the sum of £250, and (b) to accept
the agreed sum of £2,550 in respect of his legal costs
which he would otherwise be entitled to have taxed against
the defendant, Dr. Bond, on taking the £250 out of Court.
Expenditure in law charges incurred in connection with the
case has been charged against the Vote for the Ministry of
Health (Class VII, 1.) as follows:-
