Medical negligence litigation systems in UK and Saudi Arabia

Elgujja, AA

Abstract

Medical negligence or medical malpractice is as old as the medical practice
itself. In the UK, both concepts have evolved and transformed over the
years. Medical negligence litigation process in the UK is as clear as the
English law itself and its accompanying procedural rules. Conversely, the
Saudi laws governing medical negligence is quite novel and unique as it is
governed by the Shariah law. Its litigation process for medical negligence
are also quite in contrast to that of the English system. The comparative
studies of these two distinct systems would be an interesting experience
for readers of this book. The book espouses a novel perspective to the
conventional precepts on medical practice and medical negligence
litigation process.
