About the seminar:
\n<\/strong>This seminar will visit the cases of Bolam<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Bolitho<\/i>, focusing on Medical Negligence. Seventy years ago, Mr. Bolam filed his claim in negligence against his treating psychiatrist, where the case has come to govern the test of breach for medical negligence across the common law world. Since then, however, the case brought by Patrick Bolitho, and decided 40 years later in 1997, has had equally impactful consequences on medico-legal litigation. The interaction between the two cases in relation to claims and Bolitho\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0impact upon\u00a0Bolam<\/i>\u00a0continues to vex and develop. This seminar will examine and discuss its complicated and decades-long impact on medico-legal litigation.<\/p>\n

Participants will acquire knowledge of the aforesaid.<\/p>\n
