Several women, clients of Mohamed Taranissi, will launch High Court claims for damages early next year, alleging that they underwent IVF procedures at his Reproductive Genetics Institute in London during 2006, when the clinic was not approved for treatment by the fertility regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.The women are trying to reclaim up to ?20,000 in fees. Each cycle of treatment costs ?6,000 to ?10,000 and several of the women had more than one cycle in an attempt to improve their chances of conception. Muiris Lyons, a lawyer at London solicitors Irwin Mitchell, is finalising the details of the claims. He plans to send formal letters of claim to Taranissi in early 2008. The actions could encourage other ex-patients to follow suit.
