Pat was enrolled as an internal BBus student at Massey, for 155.211 Business Law, in Semester 2 2018. In week 9 of the semester Pat began to feel unwell, in particular she was often very tired and had difficulty staying awake in lectures, which, you will appreciate, is most unusual in business law.
Pat’s family’s doctor suggested that Pat was merely run down and prescribed a tonic. In fact, Pat had the mumps which the doctor was negligent in failing to diagnose. Once the painful swellings appeared, it was obvious that Pat had the mumps and Pat naturally went home to recuperate. Pat made a full recovery in time to sit the final exam and obtain a sound pass in the subject. Three of Pat’s fellow students were not so fortunate, since, as a result of contact with Pat, after she saw her doctor but before she knew she had the mumps, they developed the disease somewhat later, and were unable to sit the exam. As their coursework marks were somewhat below average they were not able to obtain an aegrotat pass and had to repeat the paper over summer school. Required:
On the basis of the relevant law, advise, in no more than 500 words, whether the three students could succeed in an action against Pat’s doctor to recover the additional costs of repeating the paper. In particular you should consider whether the doctor would owe the three students a duty of care and whether they could establish the necessary causal link between the doctor’s admitted negligence and the losses for which they are claiming.
Note: since mumps is a disease, the three do not have cover under the Accident Compensation Act 2000.
