Download or read book Medical Law in France written by Anne-Marie Duguet and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the law affecting the physician-patient relationship in France. Cutting across the traditional compartments with which lawyers are familiar, medical law is concerned with issues arising from this relationship, and not with the many wider juridical relations involved in the broader field of health care law. After a general introduction, the book systematically describes law related to the medical profession, proceeding from training, licensing, and other aspects of access to the profession, through disciplinary and professional liability and medical ethics considerations and quality assurance, to such aspects of the physician-patient relationship as rights and duties of physicians and patients, consent, privacy, and access to medical records. Also covered are specific issues such as organ transplants, human medical research, abortion, and euthanasia, as well as matters dealing with the physician in relation to other health care providers, health care insurance, and the health care system. Succinct and practical, this book will prove to be of great value to professional organizations of physicians, nurses, hospitals, and relevant government agencies. Lawyers representing parties with interests in France will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its comparative value as a contribution to the study of medical law in the international context.

Download or read book Uncertain Causation in Medical Liability written by Lara Khoury and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Proving' the cause of the plaintiff's injury in personal injury litigation often entails significant challenges, particularly when science cannot identify the cause of a biological phenomenon or when the nature of this cause is debatable. This problem is frequently encountered in medical malpractice cases, where the limitations of scientific knowledge are still extensive. Yet judges must decide cases, however uncertain the evidence with regard to proof of causation. Reluctant to leave patients without compensation, courts have in some cases challenged their traditional approach to causation through recourse to such techniques as reliance on factual presumptions and inferences, the concept of loss of chance, and reversal of the burden of proof. This book analyses and criticises the use of these various techniques by the courts of England, Australia, Canada, France, and the civilian Canadian province of Quebec in confronting evidentiary causal difficulties caused by the uncertainties of medical science.

Download or read book Perspectives on Causation written by Richard Goldberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this volume arise from a conference held at the University of Aberdeen concerning the law of causation in the UK, Commonwealth countries, France and the USA. The distinguished group of international experts who have contributed to this book examine the ways in which legal doctrine in causation is developing, and how British law should seek to influence and be influenced by developments in other countries. As such, the book will serve as a focal point for the study of this important area of law. The book is organised around three themes - the black letter law, scientific evidence, and legal theory. In black letter law scholarship, major arguments have emerged about how legal doctrine will develop in cases involving indeterminate defendants and evidential gaps in causation. Various chapters examine the ways in which legal doctrine should develop over the next few years, in particular in England, Scotland, Canada and the USA, including the problem of causation in asbestos cases. In the area of scientific evidence, its role in the assessment of causation in civil litigation has never been greater. The extent to which such evidence can be admitted and used in causation disputes is controversial. This section of the book is therefore devoted to exploring the role of statistical evidence in resolving causation problems, including recent trends in litigation in the UK, USA, Australia and in France and the question of liability for future harm. In the legal theory area, the so-called NESS (necessary element in a sufficient set) test of causation is discussed and defended. The importance of tort law responding to developing science and observations from the perspective of precaution and indeterminate causation are also explored. The book will be of interest to legal academics, policy makers in the field, specialist legal practitioners, those in the pharmaceutical and bioscience sectors, physicians and scientists.

Download or read book Compensation Schemes for Damages Caused by Healthcare and Alternatives to Court Proceedings written by Dobrochna Bach-Golecka and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses compensation mechanisms and other non-judicial means that offer alternatives to court proceedings, designed and provided for within national legal regimes. Such schemes are primarily of a civil or administrative character and are mainly intended to supplement criminal liability for medical negligence. As such, the book focuses on medical malpractice and prospective medical harm from a civil law perspective. It examines the contemporary perspective of a patient-physician relationship, which has evolved from a relation of a quasi-patrimonial character into a partnership of quasi-equal parties, dealing with a medical treatment procedure as a scientific endeavor. It also reviews the extra-legal conditions that are taken into account in compensation arrangements, particularly the need to satisfy a psychological urge for conciliation and empathy on the part of medical personnel. Lastly, the book explores the responsibility of public authorities and healthcare providers to guarantee access to healthcare that is of a sufficient quality, based upon standards provided for in international (and European) law.

This book was released on 1975-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nul n'est plus exposé que le médecin à tomber sous le coup des articles 319 et 320 du Code pénal, puisque, dans le cadre de son activité professionnelle, nécessairement, toute « maladresse, imprudence, inattention, négligence ou inobservation des règlements » est de nature à entraîner un dommage corporel. Or, on sait que depuis un arrêt de la Chambre civile en date du 18 décembre 1912, la jurisprudence affirme d'une manière constante l'identité de la faute civile et de la faute pénale. A l'époque contemporaine où, en matière civile, la faute n'apparaît plus, souvent, que comme un simple prétexte à assurer une réparation civile, pratiquement toujours supportée par l'assurance, la conséquence pratique de cette identité est le risque de voir s'installer une paradoxale, mais combien redoutable, autorité de fait du civil sur le criminel, préjudiciable à une bonne administration de la justice pénale. C'est pourquoi une partie importante de la doctrine contemporaine conteste le principe de l'identité des fautes. Mais, mené sur le terrain strict de la faute, le combat n'est pas mené sur un terrain propice. En effet, la logique impose qu'un même fait non intentionnel, nécessairement apprécié d'une manière objective — par référence à un standard — s'il est déclaré fautif en matière civile le soit aussi en matière pénale. En revanche, cette même logique impose d'exiger, pour retenir la responsabilité pénale l'existence d'un élément d'imputabilité dont la présence n'est pas nécessaire pour retenir la responsabilité civile. C'est donc au plan de la responsabilité que la dissociation doit se faire, et non au plan de la faute. Docteur en médecine et docteur en droit, Jean Penneau est attaché de consultation à l'Hôpital Tenon et chargé de travaux dirigés à la Faculté de Droit de Sceaux.
