Mr. Shoemaker further contends that the circuit court erred when it found that Mr. Shoemaker’s default:

Starson to make informed decisions, but their decision was mostly based on what they believed was in his best interests. The court established that Mr. Starson had full capacity to make his own medical decisions and approved his request to not go through with the treatment.

B’s competency can be made through her recognizable reasons. Freedman, as a strong proponent of the view that such reasons fall under both necessary and sufficient conditions to demonstrate some competence, would argue autonomous decisions demonstrate the competence to recognize and uphold one’s best interests. Ms. B’s last assertion is her strongest and most empathetic defense for competency because the thought that “they might take her feet without letting her make the decision” was terrible; it was an outcome she understood the significance of because her autonomy and consent would be overridden by what was deemed ordinary treatment. Freedman stresses that physician judgement on what is rational and what rationality involves imposes a paternalistic stance by placing greater value on physician decision making. Though the premises that all lives are equal and the autonomy to govern one’s medical decisions based on their best interests are not explicitly stated, they are implied in recognizing that she has the right to refuse the amputation even when the outcome of said decision is no more desirable. As this would be an acceptable reason, Freedman would argue Ms. B appeared marginally

In conclusion, Herman was not a reasonable person and did not take the necessary precautions needed to help ensure that he had consent with a legal adult. This is proven when he was charged with the

Rule Support: In re Estate of Nathan (1996); In re Estate of Rose (1992). In Nathan, the courts held that there was a lack of testamentary capacity when the testator changed his will: he did not remember having siblings and was confused about whether he owned one apartment or the entire apartment building. In contrast, the Rose court held she had testamentary capacity because she fully understood what she owned and that

The famous US decision of Riggs v Palmer serves to illustrate a considerable strength in Dworkin’s argument concerning rules and principles. The New York court had to decide a case to determine whether a grandson who poisoned his grandfather to obtain his inheritance was in fact able to collect such an inheritance. At the time, there existed no statute or law that invalidated his claim as a beneficiary due to his involvement in the murder. Furthermore, the applicable legal rule seemed to be that legacies contained in legally valid testamentary dispositions are to be guaranteed by law in accordance with the wishes of the testator. According to Hart, the court should, in this situation, be decided upon pre-existing law. Yet despite this, the court majority found that the grandson could not inherit, instead appealing to moral reasoning by citing the principle that no one should be able to profit from ones crimes. A similar decision based on principle was handed down 70 years later in the case of Henningsen v Bloomfield Motors Inc. As a result of these cases, Dworkin is able

(i) The actions that might be brought by Rochelle and Neil in the national courts

Mr White asked his solicitor, Jones, to change his will to benefit his 2 daughters Jones took a significant time to respond to this request, during which time White died. The daughters did not benefit from Mr White’s will, therefore claimed their losses from Jones. Therefore, the two daughters of 78-year-old Mr White sued Mr Jones for failing to follow their father's instructions when drawing up his will. The House of Lords judge that the daughters would be able to claim. Solicitors may escape the consequences of not doing their job properly; he said that a special relationship existed between the daughters and the solicitor and that Mr Jones had assumed responsibility towards
