The intersection of law and medicine has long fascinated lawyers and doctors. However, in recent years the development of new medical technologies, the recognition of patient rights, reforms in the financing, regulation and delivery of health care, and public debate about health policy and bioethics has led to increased media and public interest in legal issues relating to health care.

Medical Law in New Zealand provides an authoritative account of the law relating to health care in New Zealand. Litigation involving doctors established many of the relevant principles, but these principles apply equally to other health practitioners in their relations with patients. New Zealand statute law frequently makes no distinction between doctors and other health practitioners. This book therefore deals with matters that extend across a wide range of health practice.

“This new publication provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of this important branch of our law. This book has been written by a team comprising leaders in the field of medical law, each of whom can be accurately described as an authority.” Dr David Collins QC, Solicitor-General of New Zealand
