Plaintiff also alleged that he was not given proper informed consent. Mr. Peel secured dismissal of various claims by plaintiff at non-suit. The defense successfully argued that the surgery was medically indicated and that proper informed consent was given. Experts in otolaryngology and radiology testified.
