Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, I reseach on the law of confidentialty in England, especially the source of law and legal effect, the substance of the fact to be protected, and the reach or limit of the confidentiality. Through this project, I could make clear that the England law has mostly based on the civil law such as equity or common law, not on the criminal law, that the substance of the secret is interpreted broadly as the fact which is useful private information, and that if there is an consent of patient, if there is no need to protect the patient's information, or there are some sutatutes permitting to disclose that fact to another, that infomation can be produced to someone else. However exploring the proper reasons for or the limits to disclose,and the substantial means for balancing various rights and values are difficult problem need to be considered in-depth.
