This new work adds to the theoretical understanding and discussion
of possible solutions to various conceptual and practical problems
that arise within the field of medical negligence - an area whose
legal treatment is perceived, both in England and Germany, as
containing a number of special difficulties and shortcomings. In
addition it seeks to make a contribution to the developing field of
comparative law, by employing a detailed and closely focused
analytical approach in a tightly defined subject area. These twin
aims serve to reveal the similarities and differences between two
legal cultures in a particularly clear and striking way. The book
offers an analysis which is neutral as between the English and
German approaches. The issues are dealt with thematically so far as
possible, so that the respective treatments in each country of a
given matter, eg the standard of care owed by medical
practitioners, are discussed side-by-side. The book thus avoids the
'country-report' style, whereby the systems are presented largely
separately from each other. What is of particular interest is how,
notwithstanding their common starting point in terms of the
application of the fault-principle under private law, the detailed
rules in the two countries differ markedly. This is true both in
the divergent way that claims are structured and argued, and also
quite often as regards their substantive outcome. It will be of
interest to comparative lawyers, tort and medical lawyers, and
practising lawyers working in these areas.
