Healthcare facilities owe a number of legal and contractual obligations to a broad range of individuals – from patients and visitors, to employees and co-contractors. The Legal Responsibility of Healthcare Facilities in Canada examines the “direct” responsibilities of institutions, both in the provision of services and for any errors linked to a third party, equipment or facilities. Uniquely, this work draws on jurisprudence from the civil law of Quebec and the common law from the rest of Canada, and highlights the areas of convergence and divergence of the two distinct legal traditions.
