Peace N: PATIENT RIGHTS AND HEALTHCARE
RESPONSIBILITIES

PATIENT RIGHTS AND HEALTHCARE RESPONSIBILITIES

Maritime and Transport Law Library

Responsibility Accountability Maritime Law examines the phenomenon of criminalisation which confronts the Master in their professional conduct, both in terms of Flag State and Port State rights and obligations. The fault lines of criminalisation, which go to the heart of the question, demand an understanding of how the concept of criminal justice has evolved to impose accountability on the Master, in circumstances which had not been crimes before.Since this book was first published, the maritime world has changed dramatically, requiring a new understanding of responsibility and accountability before the Master can make rational decisions to respond to the risk of criminalisation. While the basic theory of accountability for criminalisation and the sources of law provide the foundation, this second edition presents a new introduction to summarise the necessity for changes in structure in order to define the pre-existing law with which the Master must comply, acknowledging the re-emergence of risk in the Gulf in 2026, and the foreseeable emergence of risk in the Arctic as geopolitical pressures create uncertainty as to who will assert jurisdictional control in the management of merchant shipping in this region. The Sources of Law chapter has been expanded to address risk management in the context of current geopolitical turmoil, balancing company commitments with the safety of the ship and crew. New content includes detention of Masters and crew, the International Convention on Arrest of Ships, universal jurisdiction, and relevant case studies such as the M/T Heroic Idun.The book's format meets the needs of lawyers, academics and maritime professionals, with the aim of analysing the character of criminalisation to determine the features which characterise the phenomenon in Port and Flag State contexts; it interrogates the aim to define the nature of criminalisation and identifies the constituent problems in such criminal accountability. Each chapter relies heavily on case studies to illustrate how the laws which reflect national policy underpinning those priorities are applied in practice. This structure enables an understanding of the problems in the criminal process, with a view to offering options for solutions.The book is directly relevant to a broad range of parties which includes lawyers, academics, P &amp; I clubs, seafarers, shipowners, managers and agents, and national and international seafaring unions.The current law and cases have been verified up to June 2026.

Criminalisation of the Ship’s Master

Responsibility and Accountability in Maritime Law

Hart Studies in Private Law

This ambitious and important book explores the new concept of the doctor-patient relationship, told from the private law perspective. The doctor-patient relationship differs from others in negligence law. Doctors are required to take positive action and, therefore, can be held liable for omissions. However, because actionable damage is almost exclusively confined to physical injury, the significance of a doctor's liability for failing to confer a benefit has gotten lost along the way. This aspect of the doctor's positive duty is overlooked in both the case law and the literature - and, this book identifies it as the principal barrier to protecting interests other than bodily integrity in medical negligence law. The book sets out a novel theoretical framework in which the reconceptualised doctor's 'positive duty to take care' of a patient's interests justifies an expanded concept of actionable damage beyond physical injury - ensuring that the reasons for requiring doctors to act positively are carried through to the damage enquiry. The book identifies that the leading cases causing challenges to coherency in medical negligence are those involving patient choice: Rees v Darlington Memorial Hospital, McFarlane v Tayside Health Board, Meadows v Khan, ACB v Thomson Medical Pte Ltd, Chester v Afshar, Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, Gregg v Scott, and Philp v Ryan. Rather than treating patient autonomy as a source of doctrinal difficulty, this book offers a new way of thinking about the doctor-patient relationship to accommodate autonomy related interests and real world effects of medical negligence separate from physical injury. The theoretical account of the doctor's positive duty and its consequences for actionable damage reveals what is distinctive about the doctor-patient relationship amongst other relationships giving rise to liability for omissions. It suggests how novel harms in medical negligence might be accommodated - including the potential for tort law in this area to reflect fundamental values in constitutional rights in Ireland and ECHR rights in the UK, and how the non-pecuniary losses could be quantified and compensated. While common law of Ireland and the UK takes centre stage, the analysis draws on other common law jurisdictions and on Irish constitutional law.

A Doctor’s Duty to Take Care

Redefining the Medical Negligence Action

Cambridge Studies on Governing Knowledge Commons

Governing Educational Technology in Schools and Universities

Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers face relentless and costly waves of product liability claims across U.S. federal and state courts, spanning individual suits, consolidated multidistrict litigation and coordinated proceedings, multi-plaintiff actions, and class actions. As this complex area of litigation continues to expand-often into more treacherous and plaintiff-friendly venues-the stakes for getting strategy right, early and often, have never been higher.

The third edition of Drug and Device Product Liability Litigation Strategy equips litigators with clear, practical guidance from pre-litigation investigations through trial. Reflecting significant developments since the prior edition, it distills the current and evolving legal landscape impacting drug and device lawyers, and offers actionable analysis on the issues that are most likely to influence outcomes: pre-litigation investigation and risk assessment, document preservation and fact discovery, coordination in MDLs and state proceedings, class action challenges, developments in preemption and personal jurisdiction case law, admissibility of expert testimony, dispositive and pre-trial motion practice, jury selection, and trial strategy. 

This edition highlights strategic inflection points and delivers practice-oriented insights to streamline case management and sharpen advocacy. With its emphasis on strategy and results, it is an indispensable resource for lawyers navigating high-profile drug and device litigation in a continually shifting environment.

Routledge Handbooks in Law

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the foundations, evolution, and future of international refugee law, focusing on the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol. It explores pressing contemporary challenges such as climate-induced displacement, LGBTQ+ and religion-based asylum claims, digitalisation, regional refugee protection regimes, and the lived experiences of displaced communities across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond. The volume features insights from leading and emerging scholars and practitioners across law, political science, and related disciplines, presenting an interdisciplinary approach that combines doctrinal analysis with a timely, fresh, and authoritative assessment of the changing landscape of refugee protection.Designed for students, academics, researchers, legal practitioners, and humanitarian professionals, this collection provides rigorous analysis of legal principles alongside regional case studies - including the Rohingya in Bangladesh, Afghan and Syrian refugees in the United Kingdom, Ukrainians in Poland, and Venezuelans across Latin America and the Caribbean. This approach bridges the gap between legal doctrine and practice. Critically evaluating the strengths and limitations of the existing international refugee law framework, it equips readers with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to contribute to more effective and inclusive refugee protection regimes.

Routledge Research in Media Law

This book considers whether news gatherers should be required to disclose the identity of anonymous sources used in their stories by courts or other bodies. The vast majority of media self-regulatory codes impose an obligation not to disclose the identity of such sources, but many legal systems have traditionally been reluctant to offer such a degree of protection to anonymous sources, or any at all. However, the latter part of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century has seen an explosion in the number of such 'source protection' laws, and much judicial and legislative activity to change existing laws.Drawing on media and communications theories the book identifies a number of different theoretical justifications for source protection laws and analyzes whether the application of existing laws are consistent with any of these theories. Using legal materials and codes from a wide variety of countries it considers whether there are any noticeable trends in how different countries address this issue. It explores the influence of the United States and the European Court of Human Rights' jurisprudence on the matter beyond their jurisdictions, and asks the question whether this is an area of law captured by 'globalisation,' or whether countries with different constitutional and media traditions have developed different approaches to 'source protection.'Finally having assess the arguments in support of source protection laws Damian Carney puts forward a model clause and model shield law for the protection of anonymous sources which is theoretically and practically robust.

This book considers whether news gatherers should be required to disclose the identity of anonymous sources used in their stories by courts or other bodies.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.
