Research and Projects/Liability Arising from Medica
COMPARATIVE LAW STUDY OF LIABILITY ARISING FROM MEDICAL CARE
The main goal of this research is try to find and describe the structures of the civil liability arising from the medical care in the Czech Republic and other European countries. Because it is the first attempt to conduct such a research in Czech Republic, it is also difficult to find some predecessors or to follow up some previous streams in this field. The exception in this field is the activity of the research group of prof. Dagmar Císařová but this group is focused only on the penal liability arising from the medical care.
The study of the civil liability arising from the medical care is not marginal or exceptional in the European or world legal science; it is rather on the contrary progressive trend of the past four decades and thus the proposed research can follow up this stream and deepen the knowledge in this field in the Czech Republic, where are similar studies rather exceptional.
The proposed research can be also related to the effort to reform the Czech legal system – especially in the field of civil law and to make the reform of the legal system more effective and compatible with European and world standards. From this point of view could be the aims and possible results of the proposed research seen as highly actual. The deeper knowledge of structures of the civil liability arising from medical care can be used also in the field of legal education.
