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 text will give legal practitioners, health practitioners and managers, students, and the public an authoritative account of key aspects of the law relating to health care, from New Zealand’s leading medico-legal academics.

“Few areas of the law have changed and expanded as rapidly as medical law. Every year significant common law, legislative and administrative developments impact upon medical law in New Zealand. 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. This text will be a welcome addition to the libraries of lawyers, health professionals, students and all who share an interest in medical law."
- Dr David Collins QC, Solicitor-General of New Zealand
