    In a wrongful death suit for Stephan Andres the trial court did not err by rejecting the plaintiffs offered jury instructions for not providing a supervisor in the locker room required by Cal. Code Regs., tit. 22, § 65521, subd. (a), requiring that every pool be under the care of a competent person, which is not related to a lifeguard but the person in charge of the sanitation and hygiene of the pool. Negligence in itself only pertains if the person suffering the death or injury was one of the relatives for which the protection statute, ordinance, or regulation was adopted. Stephen, a victim of drowning rather than unsanitary facilities, was not related to the person whose protection section 65521 was…

    There is still a concern amongst Paramedics that they have no defence against negligence apart from transporting every person they attend. In some instances this has not been the case. Documentation provides a defence; and as such, documentation is an integral part of the treatment for each patient a Paramedic attends. It is an established legal truism that a person of sound mind has the right to self-determination; they can choose what is done (or not done) to their body. The voluntary choices and decisions of an adult person of sound mind concerning what is or is not done to their body, must be respected and accepted, irrespective of what others, including doctors, may think is in the best interests of that particular person. The difficulty arises when there is doubt over whether a person is of sound mind. However, in cases where the person does have an adequate mental capacity, a patient does have the right not to be transported. As such,…

Washington courts have come down on both sides of this question.…

    Present day labor laws protect employees from employer abuse, including hazardous working conditions and unreasonably low wages; but, this was not always true. In the early 20th century, commonly referred to as the “Lochner Era”, the Supreme Court of the United States protected businesses by rejecting State-regulated economic regulations (Choudhry 2004, 6). This precedent was revisited in the 1937 landmark Supreme Court Case, West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, which involved, Elsie Parrish, a chambermaid at the West Coast Hotel, who sued the Cascadian Hotel (owned by the West Coast Hotel Company,) for not having been paid the legal minimum wage (West's Encyclopedia of American Law). In 1932, a law had passed in Washington State, known as “Minimum…

There are a couple of legal and ethical issues of this case.…
