"A Geelong mother given the greenlight to launch legal action for pain and suffering as a result of contracting Covid in the workplace has spoken out about her next court battle."

The County Court last month ruled Ms Shrimpton had suffered a permanent serious impairment of her immune system and allowed her leave to bring proceedings for pain and suffering. She caught Covid within two days of starting work at the Opal South Valley Aged Care Home in August 2020. Eight residents of the Covid-ravaged facility in Highton died after contracting the virus, and dozens of infections were recorded among residents and staff. The Belmont resident also dealt with the trauma of bringing the virus from the Highton facility into her own home that resulted in her two children, Imogen Shrimpton-Heyne, 16, and Jay Shrimpton, 19, becoming infected. “(The court ruling) is such a big relief. I spent a long time explaining my symptoms to people and I’m honoured to be able to provide reassurance to others that they are not alone,” Ms Shrimpton said. “I am happy to take responsibility and go first to support others that are also suffering from symptoms of Covid. They need to know that they are not alone.” Alongside her irritated lungs, she battles stress incontinence — meaning she loses urine when she coughs, sneezes or laughs — and is also experiencing a persistent cough, shortness of breath, a sore throat, nasal drip, fatigue, and headaches. Ms Shrimpton said she burst into tears when her lawyer, Shine Lawyers, informed her of the court outcome and now she was preparing for another legal battle that, if she won, would pave the way for others in a similar situation.
Ms Schutze said the County Court judgment officially included the immune system as a body function in the test for serious injury in the WorkCover system and this could assist other sufferers to potentially bring claims for common law damages against allegedly negligent employers. The consensus of expert medical opinion in County Court proceedings was that Ms Shrimpton was suffering from long Covid syndrome and that it was likely her symptoms would continue indefinitely.

Six young people are preparing to appear at the European court of human rights to try to compel 32 nations to rapidly escalate their emissions reductions in the world’s largest climate legal action to date. They argue that a lack of adequate action is a breach of human rights.

The six Portuguese claimants say they were driven to act by their experiences in the wildfires that ripped through the Leiria region in 2017.
