The Zyprexa Chronicles: Lawsuits Down Under

Via Psychdata, here's an initial bit on a class action lawsuit in Australia field against Eli Lilly (or its Aussie subsidiary I'd assume) over injuries allegedly caused by the company's star drug, Zyprexa. I know squat about the legal system in Oz, but in light of Lilly's vigorous settlements (about $1.3 billion and counting) in the US, you have to wonder if the Australian suit will ever see the inside of a court room. As far as I know, there haven't been any patient lawsuits outside the US, so this will be interesting to watch and may have ramifications for the UK.
