Disputes Over Scope of Duty in Clinical Negligence Cases

This chapter explores the confusion and disagreement surrounding the scope of duty in cases of harm and negligence, particularly in the context of clinical negligence. It discusses specific cases, such as Khan v Meadows and D and Grandpa and Heath Board, to analyze the courts' approach to determining whether the harm suffered falls within the defendant's duty. The chapter also raises questions about the implications of these cases and how similar arguments will be handled in the future.
