- Title
BOLAM IN AUSTRALIA -- MORE BARK THAN BITE?
- Authors
Sappideen, Carolyn
- Abstract
The article discusses the application and medical profession of the Bolam test in Australia under the statutory professional standard and at common law. It mentions that the introduction of the statutory peer professional standard and the original Bolam test offers evidence to the influence and power of the medical profession. However, it provides an examination on the move of Australian courts to reject the Bolam principle in determining the standard of care at common law.
