Title: Res ipsa loquitur and medical negligence
Description: "The purpose and object ... is the investigation and research of the utility and effect of the application of the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur to medical negligence cases. In particular, the book endeavours to establish conclusively that the approach of the South African courts, that the doctrine should never find application to modern negligence cases, is untenable and out of touch with modern approaches adopted in other common law countries. Constitutional principles such as procedural equality, access to courts, access to health care, access to information, post-constitutional legislation, medical ethics and policy considerations are also analysed"--P.
