Details

The law on recovery of damages in wrongful conception, wrongful birth and wrongful life cases has been treated as settled for some time following the cases of McFarlane v Tayside Board of Health [2000] 2 AC 59, Parkinson v St James and Seacroft University Hospital NHS Trust [2001] EWCA Civ 530, Rees v Darlington Memorial Hospital NHS Trust [2002] EWCA Civ 88 and McKay v Essex Area Health Authority [1982] Q.B. 116.

This book takes an in-depth look at those key cases and their application in practice. There do also remain unanswered questions regarding the limits of recovery in these areas: this book provides insight in to those potential areas for development, as well as exploring the approach taken in foreign jurisdictions.

Chapter One: An introduction to the claims.

Chapter Two: Is there a cause of action? Duty, breach and causation.

Chapter Three: Wrongful life.

Chapter Four: Wrongful conception and wrongful birth: the background.

Chapter Five: Wrongful conception and wrongful birth: the key cases.

Chapter Six: Recent developments.

Chapter Seven: Lessons from abroad: a look at foreign jurisdictions.

Chapter Eight: Conclusions: is it time for a re-think?
