NEGLIGENCE
Judgment givenCase summary:In Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] UKSC 11, the Supreme Court held that a doctor "is under a duty to take reasonable care to ensure that the patient is aware of any material risks involved in any recommended treatment, and of any reasonable alternative or variant treatments." In this appeal, the Supreme Court is asked to decide what test should be applied when assessing whether an alternative treatment is reasonable and requires to be discussed with the patient. More specifically, did the doctor in this case fall below the required standard of reasonable care by failing to make a patient aware of an alternative treatment in a situation where the doctor's opinion was that the alternative treatment was not reasonable and that opinion was supported by a responsible body of medical opinion? It is also asked whether the courts below erred in their approach to the issue of causation.
