Example text
Where death has been caused, the dependent relatives (if there are any) will receive compensation for the loss of salary of the family breadwinner. The death of a child is poorly compensated as it can have no dependants and no forecast as to its level of future earnings can be made. TYPES OF MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE It is impossible to give a complete list of negligent situations in medical practice. An English judge once stated that ‘the categories of negligence are never closed’, which must be correct as every new technique that is developed provides more opportunity for something 18 Medical malpractice to go wrong.
Every country has its own criteria for evaluating the degree of mental impairment that will excuse criminal responsibility: the English legal system has been used as the basis for the legal systems in many parts of the world, although it must be noted that the concept of ‘diminished responsibility’, introduced into English law as late as 1957, was copied from Scotland, where it had already been in use for a very long period. Unfitness to plead indicates a severe degree of mental disease, the type being immaterial, which would cause the accused person to be unfit to appear at a criminal trial.
However, as capital punishment was abolished in Britain soon after the introduction of the Act, this change lost much of its force, as a sentence of life imprisonment (nominally 15 years but in reality only about 10 years in prison) would be less than an indefinite stay in a criminal mental hospital. The Homicide Act states that: behaviour. However, if he can prove that these were not taken voluntarily, for example that someone else has slipped strong drink into a coffee or a beer, there is a possible defence.
