Current Case Law on Non-Pecuniary Damages with Focus on Medical Law
Abstract
The article deals with the current case law on compensation for non-pecuniary damage with a focus on medical law. The aim is to outline the recent judicial practice of the highest courts of the Czech Republic in this area, to evaluate it, and, where appropriate, to comment critically on it. The article is divided into two chapters. The first deals with decisions focusing on the manner and extent of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, and the second with procedural aspects when bringing such claims before the court.
