ABSTRACT
Analyses the policy arguments for and against allowing loss of chance claims in medical negligence cases and argues that public policy can be used positively to provide a rationale for recognising loss of chance as an actionable damage. Compares the approach to the loss of chance doctrine in England, Australia, the US and Singapore. Suggests a framework for analysing policy to justify recognition of the doctrine in medical negligence.
