Catherine Henry, Principal of Catherine Henry Lawyers, discussed promoting social justice through health care litigation. Her firm has represented many Indigenous clients in negligence claims and inquests, highlighting the wide gap in health status between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Many of her clients had significant pre-existing medical conditions and poor access to appropriate health services, which complicated the health care that was the subject of the litigation. She works collaboratively with Aboriginal Legal Services around New South Wales on these types of cases.

Robert Yates, "Hospital Detentions For Non-Payment of Fees A Denial of Rights...The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics
March 27, 2020
Each year in low- and middle-income countries thousands of people are detained in hospitals for non-payment of medical bills, despite the fact that such detention is a violation of national and international law. Hospital detention for nonpayment of bills disproportionately affects the most vulnerable people, including post-partum women.
In the US, medical debt manifests itself in other ways, including bankruptcy, litigation to garnish wages, and foregone care. In both contexts, these scandals are the result of failures of financing, priority-setting, and legal oversight.
Without addressing these systemic issues, a "human right to health care" will remain a hollow slogan, as will political promises to achieve universal health coverage.
This event will feature Robert Yates of Chatham House, which has conducted an in-depth investigation of the global phenomenon of hospital detentions. Additional panelists will address manifestations of predatory lending and surprise medical fees in the United States, the ethical imperatives of financing and priority setting for UHC in general, and the implications for thinking about health care as a human right.

The Australian Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence was forced to close its family addiction recovery services in Canton Beach after 6 years of operation due to rental arrears. This forced 40 men, women and children to become homeless within 48 hours. The center relied on client Centrelink payments which averaged $36.42 per day, which was not enough to sustain operations. There is a lack of affordable, government-funded rehabilitation options for families struggling with addiction issues in Australia.

APPLICATION OF ETHICS TO LEGAL ISSUES
Please review the following case:
The defendant in State v. Cunningham, the owner, and administrator of a residential care facility housed thirty to thirty-seven mentally ill, mentally retarded, and senior residents. The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals conducted various surveys at the defendant’s facility between October 1989 and May 1990. All of the surveys except one resulted in a fifty-dollar daily fine assessed against the defendant for violations of the regulations.
On August 16, 1990, a grand jury filed an indictment charging the defendant with several counts of wanton neglect of a resident in violation of the Iowa Code section 726.7 (1989), which provides, “A person commits wanton neglect of a resident of a healthcare facility when the person knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental, or moral welfare of a resident of a healthcare facility. . . . Wanton neglect of a resident of a healthcare facility is a serious misdemeanor.”
The district court held that the defendant had knowledge of the dangerous conditions that existed in the healthcare facility but willfully and consciously refused to provide or to exercise adequate supervision to remedy or attempt to remedy the dangerous conditions. The residents were exposed to physical dangers and unhealthy and unsanitary physical conditions and were grossly deprived of the much-needed medical care and personal attention.
The conditions were likely to and did cause injury to the physical and mental well-being of the facility’s residents. The defendant was found guilty on five counts of wanton neglect. The district court sentenced the defendant to one year in jail for each of the five counts, to run concurrently. The district court suspended all but two days of the defendant’s sentence and ordered him to pay $200 for each count, plus a surcharge and costs, and to perform community service. A motion for a new trial was denied, and the defendant appealed.
The Iowa Court of Appeals held that there was substantial evidence to support a finding that the defendant was responsible for not properly maintaining the nursing facility, which led to prosecution for wanton neglect of the facility’s residents. The defendant was found guilty of knowingly acting in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical or mental welfare of the facility’s residents by creating, directing, or maintaining hazardous conditions and unsafe practices.
The facility was not properly maintained (for example, findings included broken glass in patients’ rooms, excessive hot water in faucets, dried feces on public bathroom walls and grab bars, insufficient towels and linens, cockroaches and worms in the food preparation area, no soap available in the kitchen, and at one point, only one bar of soap and one container of shampoo found in the entire facility). Dietary facilities were unsanitary an ...
Health law - negligence and patient safety
This document provides a summary of a presentation given by Catherine Henry on negligence and patient safety in health law. Some key points:
- Catherine Henry Lawyers specializes in health and medical law cases, with a focus on medical negligence.
- Medical negligence cases are challenging due to complex medical issues but can improve patient safety by holding healthcare providers accountable and deterring breaches of standards of care.
- Examples of successful medical negligence claims handled by the firm include birth injuries, surgical errors, failures to diagnose in emergency departments, and an avoidable patient death in a mental health unit.
- While litigation may not be "about the money," injuries and losses from medical negligence can be extremely significant and life-

This document summarizes a presentation on legal options for substandard aged care. It discusses complaints mechanisms under the Aged Care Act of 1997 and common law claims of negligence and intentional torts. It notes that while litigation is rare, there is increased interest in aged care litigation through alliances between advocacy groups and lawyers. The risks and role of litigation are discussed, with examples given of potential negligence claims involving a fall and malnutrition. The conclusion is that well prepared cases could help maintain professional standards in aged care.
Observations from the coalface protecting the rights of elder Australians
This document summarizes a presentation on protecting the rights of elderly Australians and aspects of care for the frail aged that can lead to negligence litigation against aged care facilities. It discusses common adverse events like malnutrition, restraints, falls and pressure sores. While remedies exist, litigation is rare in Australia compared to other countries. However, there is increased interest in aged care litigation through alliances between advocacy groups and lawyers. Litigation can play an important role by improving patient care, calling attention to serious problems, and creating deterrent and economic incentives for better safety strategies. Three case studies of negligence claims are presented involving issues like poor security, falls, and substandard wound care.

APPLICATION OF ETHICS TO LEGAL ISSUES
Please review the following case:
The defendant in State v. Cunningham, the owner, and administrator of a residential care facility housed thirty to thirty-seven mentally ill, mentally retarded, and senior residents. The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals conducted various surveys at the defendant’s facility between October 1989 and May 1990. All of the surveys except one resulted in a fifty-dollar daily fine assessed against the defendant for violations of the regulations.
On August 16, 1990, a grand jury filed an indictment charging the defendant with several counts of wanton neglect of a resident in violation of the Iowa Code section 726.7 (1989), which provides, “A person commits wanton neglect of a resident of a healthcare facility when the person knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental, or moral welfare of a resident of a healthcare facility. . . . Wanton neglect of a resident of a healthcare facility is a serious misdemeanor.”
The district court held that the defendant had knowledge of the dangerous conditions that existed in the healthcare facility but willfully and consciously refused to provide or to exercise adequate supervision to remedy or attempt to remedy the dangerous conditions. The residents were exposed to physical dangers and unhealthy and unsanitary physical conditions and were grossly deprived of the much-needed medical care and personal attention.
The conditions were likely to and did cause injury to the physical and mental well-being of the facility’s residents. The defendant was found guilty on five counts of wanton neglect. The district court sentenced the defendant to one year in jail for each of the five counts, to run concurrently. The district court suspended all but two days of the defendant’s sentence and ordered him to pay $200 for each count, plus a surcharge and costs, and to perform community service. A motion for a new trial was denied, and the defendant appealed.
The Iowa Court of Appeals held that there was substantial evidence to support a finding that the defendant was responsible for not properly maintaining the nursing facility, which led to prosecution for wanton neglect of the facility’s residents. The defendant was found guilty of knowingly acting in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical or mental welfare of the facility’s residents by creating, directing, or maintaining hazardous conditions and unsafe practices.
The facility was not properly maintained (for example, findings included broken glass in patients’ rooms, excessive hot water in faucets, dried feces on public bathroom walls and grab bars, insufficient towels and linens, cockroaches and worms in the food preparation area, no soap available in the kitchen, and at one point, only one bar of soap and one container of shampoo found in the entire facility).

Health law - negligence and patient safety
This document provides a summary of a presentation given by Catherine Henry on negligence and patient safety in health law. Some key points:
- Catherine Henry Lawyers specializes in health and medical law cases, with a focus on medical negligence.
- Medical negligence cases are challenging due to complex medical issues but can improve patient safety by holding healthcare providers accountable and deterring breaches of standards of care.
- Examples of successful medical negligence claims handled by the firm include birth injuries, surgical errors, failures to diagnose in emergency departments, and an avoidable patient death in a mental health unit.
- While litigation may not be "about the money," injuries and losses from medical negligence can be extremely significant and life-

There has been increased scrutiny and focus in the community and the media on instances of self-harm and harm to others, perpetrated by people who have either been recently released from a psychiatric facility or have been refused treatment in a psychiatric facility.State Legal Conference Elder Law
This document summarizes a presentation on legal options for substandard aged care. It discusses complaints mechanisms under the Aged Care Act of 1997 and common law claims of negligence and intentional torts. It notes that while litigation is rare, there is increased interest in aged care litigation through alliances between advocacy groups and lawyers. The risks and role of litigation are discussed, with examples given of potential negligence claims involving a fall and malnutrition. The conclusion is that well prepared cases could help maintain professional standards in aged care.
Observations from the coalface protecting the rights of elder Australians
This document summarizes a presentation on protecting the rights of elderly Australians and aspects of care for the frail aged that can lead to negligence litigation against aged care facilities. It discusses common adverse events like malnutrition, restraints, falls and pressure sores. While remedies exist, litigation is rare in Australia compared to other countries. However, there is increased interest in aged care litigation through alliances between advocacy groups and lawyers. Litigation can play an important role by improving patient care, calling attention to serious problems, and creating deterrent and economic incentives for better safety strategies. Three case studies of negligence claims are presented involving issues like poor security, falls, and substandard wound care.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
