İngiliz Hukukunda iyilesme sansı kaybının tazmini

Abstract

Şans kaybının tazmini, İngiliz hukukunda, bazı davalarda kabul edilirken, tıbbi sorumluluk alanında açıkça reddedilmektedir. Bazı davalarda doktrinin kabul edilmesi, tıbbi sorumluluğun söz konusu olduğu davalarda şans kaybının reddedilirken, ayrıntılı bir inceleme yapılmasına yol açmıştır. Bu kapsamda Lordlar Kamarası tarafından karara bağlanan Hotson v. East Berkshire Authority ve Gregg v. Scott davaları önem arz etmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra İngiliz hukukunda nedensellik bağının tesisinde “zarar rizikosunu önemli oranda artırma” testinin kabul edildiği görülmektedir. Bu test ile şans kaybı doktrini ilişkilendirilmiş olduğundan, her ikisinin arasındaki farkların da açıklığa kavuşturulması ihtiyacı ortaya çıkmıştır. Tüm bu hususlar göz önünde bulundurularak, çalışmada, doktrin ve içtihat tarafından konuya ilişkin olarak ileri sürülen görüşlere ayrıntılı bir biçimde yer verilmiştir

Recovery of Loss of Chance in Medical Malpractice in English Law

Abstract

While recovery of loss of chance is accepted in some cases, it is rejected in medical malpractice in English Law. Accepting recovery of loss of chance in some cases leads to make a detailed analyze when rejecting it in the medical malpractice. In this concept the House of Lord’s Hotson v. East Berkshire Authority and Gregg v. Scott decisions have a significant importance. On the other hand, “materially increasing risk” test is admitted to establish the causation in English law. Therefore the relationship between this test and the loss of chance doctrine should be clarified. In this context, all of the ideas relating to the loss of chance in medical malpractice are presented in this article
