This comment analyses the recent High Court's decision in ABC v St George's Healthcare NHS Trust. In this case, the court struck out a claim brought by a patient's daughter against her father's doctors for their failure to warn her of his hereditary disease. The claimant argued that the doctors' failure caused her harm and violated her rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. It is argued in this comment that the judge should have accepted the claimant's application.
本评论分析了高等法院最近在ABC诉圣乔治医疗保健国民保健服务信托案中的判决。在该案件中，法院驳回了一名患者女儿对其父亲的医生提起的诉讼，该诉讼指控医生未告知她其父亲的遗传病。原告辩称，医生的不作为给她造成了伤害，并侵犯了她根据《欧洲人权公约》所享有的权利。本评论认为，法官本应接受原告的申请。
