June 17 (Court TV) -- Louise Woodward received her British passport this morning and she is on her way back to her home in Elton, England.

But a federal judge in Boston ruled this afternoon that Woodward cannot have access to any money she might make from telling her story, at least not for the next ten days.

Sunil Eappen, the father of young Matthew Eappen -- the baby who died in Woodward's care -- filed a wrongful death civil suit yesterday in U.S. District Court, as well as a request for an injunction barring Woodward from money made from "any description, written or oral, of her life or experiences," according to court documents.

Eappen's suit didn't ask the court to bar Woodward from signing agreements to tell her story -- though the court and the Eappens have to be informed of any such deal. But they asked that Woodward not be allowed access to any money she might make from those agreements, pending the outcome of their suit.

Indicating that the Eappens would likely win their suit, presumably because of the guilty verdict in Woodward's criminal trial, U.S. District Judge William Young granted their request. He scheduled the trial for October 5.

As proof that Woodward is a likely target for book publishers or others who might want the rights to an official version of her tale, Eappen lawyer Fredric Ellis submitted a half-page list -- in small type -- of books written by participants in the O.J. Simpson trial. Eappen's civil suit asks for at least $75,000 in damages. They claim that the expenses incurred to treat their son before his death and bury him afterwards exceeded $50,000.

"Defendant's conduct in caring for Matthew constituted willful, wanton or reckless conduct," reads the Eappens' complaint. "As the direct and proximate result of the serious bodily injuries to Matthew caused by Defendant, Matthew was caused to suffer consciously from the time he was injured until his death," several days after the injuries the young boy sustained from Woodward.

The Eappen suit also contains a sworn statement by Dr. Sunil Eappen, Matthew's father.

"Matthew's death deprived me, my wife, and my son Brendan of the great joy, love, companionship and comfort that we would have enjoyed from Matthew's continued life," he says.

Though the suit includes a summons for Woodward, attorney Ellis said the suit should not affect Woodward's return to England. It is unclear whether any judgment in the civil case could be enforced if she is overseas.

"The purpose of the lawsuit is to ensure that Louise Woodward does not become a millionaire because she killed an eight-month-old baby," Ellis said Tuesday in a statement, adding that any monetary damages will go to the Matty Eappen Foundation, set up to help prevent child abuse.

Deborah Eappen echoed those sentiments.

"There is right and there is wrong," she told the Boston Globe. "What she did was so wrong, for her to benefit financially would be so wrong."

Ellis did not elaborate on the case, and said he wants it tried in court. As for Woodward's defense team, they seemed was glad the case was over, but frustrated by the final outcome.

"We believe as, we always have, and maintain Louise Woodward's innocence of any responsibility for Matthew Eappen's death," said lawyer Andrew Good.

Her lawyers also said they want to convene an independent panel to re-evaluate the scientific evidence from the case.
