Proceedings concerning professional liability of physicians, in the light of the 2016 Supreme Medical Court jurisdiction

Summary/Abstract: Although decisions of medical courts do not constitute, in our legal system, judicial precedents, and thereby do not create a new legal norm but merely a pragmatic interpretation of particular legal provisions – then, in the light of Art. 76 of the Code of Medical Ethics, in cases not provided for in the Code – the principles reflected and resulting from jurisdiction of medical courts should take precedence. Hence, the views and arguments featured in the reasons for the sentences of the Supreme Medical Court, are of indeed great importance to the functioning of medical courts. Therefore the need for publication of the latter Court’s selected decisions is rather self-evident, and that – at least to some extent – is precisely the aim of the present article, which comprises assorted sentences of the Supreme Medical Court in 2017.
