Revisiting Landmark Cases in Medical Law (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on legal developments in the UK, US, and other jurisdictions, this book revisits a selection of leading cases in medical law, and argues that while the judgments in each came to the correct conclusion, many issues were left unaddressed, and have led to avoidable confusion.
