Penguin

This reference on the law of tort has been updated and restructured to take account of events - cases such as Murphy v. Brentwood District Council, Ahorasandjian v. Bush, White v. Jones, and R. v. Deputy Governor of Parkhurst Prison - which have taken place since the last edition, and their effects on law. The chapter on principles of liability and tort has been completely rewritten, and the chapter on negligence is almost entirely novel in context and form. Also included are an examination of the developments in defamation, and a review of the crucial role now played by economic torts in their several guises. Annual supplements update the mainwork.

To date, little analysis exists of the criminal process's roles as a regulator of medical practice and as an arbiter of bioethics, nor whether criminal law is an appropriate forum for judging ethical medical dilemmas. The conscription of criminal law into moral controversy and the (perceived) rise in criminal investigations of medical errors sets the backdrop for this innovative historical and theoretical analysis of the relationship between medicine, bioethics and the criminal process. Case studies on abortion, end of life and the separation of conjoined twins reveal how judges grapple with bioethics in criminal cases and the impact of 'theatre' on the criminal law's response to ethically controversial medical cases. A central argument is that bioethics and criminal law are not necessarily incompatible; rather, it is the theatre surrounding interactions between bioethics and criminal law that often distorts and creates tension.

This book delves into medico-legal history, travelling back in time to explore English law's fascinating and often acrimonious relationship with healing and healers. Challenging assumptions that medical law is a recent development, Law and healing traces the regulation of healers from the Church's dominance to legal battles fought among medical practitioners. As well as considering the history of the regulation of healers, this book addresses moral issues such as abortion, bodily sovereignty, and the use of cadavers in research. It highlights how fundamental legal and ethical questions continue to resurface, for example, from controversy in the Renaissance over human dissection to modern-day debates about organ donation. Law and healing provides a colourful but critical account of the longstanding - and often fraught - relationship between two fundamental pillars of human society.
