A 60-year old truck driver sued the Tokyo hospital, where he was born after discovering that he was accidentally switched with another newborn in 1953.

He ended up with a poor single mother while the other baby grew up to own a real estate company under his rich biological parents.

The hospital was ordered by court to pay ¥38m (£227,000) for damages.
