Containing details of over 300 cases, this book takes a new approach to the law of medical negligence, concentrating on the cases and the principle deriving from them. Part 1 gives an overview of the relevant principles of law and looks at causes of action, medical malpractice, damages, common types of action and practical aspects of this type of legislation. Part 2, which makes up the bulk of the work, is a compilation drawn directly from decided cases and draws together the cases by reference to their bearing on the principles of: consent to treatment (including sterilization cases), medical malpractice, breach of contract, remoteness of damage and causation. Part 3 reproduces relevant statutory material.
