The judge presiding in the High Court organ retention case is reserving his decision to an unspecified date.
Mr Justice Gage has presided over the three-week trial of three "lead" cases, including Oxford woman Denise Shorter whose first baby was stillborn in October 1992.
It was only years later that she learned that her child's brain had been retained and then disposed of. She is one of 2,140 claimants represented by Richard Lissack QC who are suing over hospital retention of body parts without their knowledge and consent.
Defence lawyers have denied liability in the case which could cost the NHS millions of pounds.
