Abstract

Medical negligence cases often involve much uncertainty and controversy. In Noor Azlin v Changi General Hospital, the High Court (HC) and the Court of Appeal (CA) dealt with important issues such as the duty of Accident and Emergency doctors (A&E doctors), a hospital’s management system and loss of chance. The implications of this landmark decision are explored in this case comment.
