A Comparison of English and Canadian Common Law on Medical Negligence Conflict Resolution (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789975347501)

The current system of medical negligence law is failing as costs rise annually. This has created a burden on patients, doctors, insurers and governments alike. With a focus on the intersection of medical negligence law and conflict resolution, this book will identify where the current system of medical negligence conflict resolution is failing in the United Kingdom. It will compare the UK system with the Canadian model, another similar socialised healthcare system to the UK, but one with different practices. This book focuses on a legal practitioner's angle, identifying the basic knowledge a practitioner should know heading into a medical negligence claim and how that practitioner may advice their client. It will walk the reader through recommendations for defendants, claimants and the public as a whole. With its focus on legal practitioners, the book will examine how lawyers may assist their clients in reducing the costs of litigation through arbitration and mediation practices, and looks to future challenges and how to overcome them.
