Medical Negligence Litigation Systems in UK and Saudi Arabia

The concept of 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 common law 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. The litigation process for medical negligence is also quite in contrast to that of the English system. The comparative study 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.
