Cases

West Bromwich Albion FC v El-Safty

Comment

The Judge compared this case to negligent treatment of the resident conductor of an orchestra, a leading player in a rock band or the managing director of a major company. In each case the consultant treating them would be aware that they were a major asset to a third party, but it would clearly not be fair, just or equitable to impose potentially huge liability upon them. The consultant would of course, as here, have to compensate the patient himself for his losses.
