Lisa Lunt, partner at law firm Pogust Goodhead, which led the actions on behalf of the women, said those implanted with transvaginal mesh had suffered years of chronic pain and suffering.
But she said lots of women had missed out on payouts because of a deadline to claim.
“Hundreds of women were prevented from making a claim due to strict 10-year time limits that are in force from the date that the product was manufactured.
“It’s about time that the government took action to increase the time limits,” she said.
Kath Sansom, from campaign group Sling the Mesh, said that it was “groundbreaking” to achieve the successful group action, but it would only benefit a fraction of women harmed by the mesh products.
She believes 40,000 women could be affected by mesh complications – about 10 to 20% of those given mesh implants.
There has already been a successful group action in Scotland.
