PRESCRIBED RESEARCH TOPIC In recent years, South Africa has seen a significant rise in medical negligence claims. Large amounts of compensation are being awarded to patients who suffered harm due to medical negligence, especially in public hospitals. Sometimes, criminal cases are instituted against the health care practitioner who treated the patient. The South African Law Reform Commission investigated the phenomenon (medico-legal claims) and released an issue paper and a discussion paper on the topic. There are a variety of proposed solutions to the problem, as pointed out by the Law Reform Commission and various scholars. You decide to make this your research topic for your post-graduate studies.

You can choose to focus on the way these cases are handled in civil court or in criminal court (not both). Consult case law, legislation, journal articles
