Professional Negligence Update – what’s new in vicarious liability, illegality and loss of a chance
A podcast bringing you up to date with the key professional negligence developments in 2019 and 2020. The talk will include: (i) asking whether the approach to vicarious liability has become more sophisticated; (ii) considering how courts are implementing the Patel v Mirza 'policy-based' approach to the doctrine of illegality; (iii) reviewing where we are on the 'loss of a chance' doctrine, and how the vexed question of after-available evidence fits in.
