A company linked to peer Baroness Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman has been ordered to pay £122m ($164m) in damages after a judge ruled it breached a UK government contract for the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the Covid pandemic.
The Department of Health and Social Care sued PPE Medpro over claims the medical gowns it supplied did not comply with relevant healthcare standards.
The High Court ruled Medpro failed to prove whether or not its surgical gowns, which were to be used by NHS workers, had undergone a validated sterilisation process.
In response to the ruling, Baroness Mone said it was "shocking but all too predictable".
