| Summary |
Health professionals may face an action in negligence if a patient suffers damage and the delivery of the health care was below the expected standard for the ordinary reasonable practitioner. Four legal cases have been dramatised to illustrate the elements a plaintiff needs to establish to bring a successful action in negligence. The dramatised cases are: --Donoghue v. Stevenson [1932] All ER 1. --Rogers v. Whitaker (1992) 175 CLR 479. --Peters v. Minister of Health as the Hawthorn Hospital and Stagg (unreported WA District Court, 9, 10 April 1980 No 3109/78). --Barnett v. Chelsea and Kensington Hospital Management Committee [1969] 1 QB 428. |
