Liability Of Blood Banks For The Transmission Of Hiv-Aids, Martin B. Kofsky

St. Thomas Law Review

This article focuses on cases of HIV transmission arising from blood transfusions. This article specifically details and describes the effect of blood shield statutes upon HIV-AIDS litigation and the appropriate standard of care to which a blood bank or similar entity should be held. Finally, the impact of the standard of care in conjunction with blood shield statutes on negligence actions arising from the transmission of the virus through blood transfusions will be examined. Although only two to three percent of all HIV-AIDS transmission cases are attributable to transfusion, the bulk of the litigation with respect to HIV-AIDS transmission is …

The article concludes that the courts prohibiting ex parte interviews of treating physicians reach the proper result based on the public policy favoring the physician-patient privilege.

The Bill sought to remedy the state of "lawlessness" which has existed respecting abortion ever since the decision reached by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Morgentaler in January, 1988. However, this determination is incorrect. The law is quite clear: there is no criminal prohibition against abortion in Canada. This follows directly from the Court's holding in the Morgentaler decision that the old law, s. 287 (formerly s.251) of the Criminal Code, infringed a woman's right to security and liberty of …
