Whether you work in healthcare, business, or education, you will certainly have come across a scenario or two whereby you had to decide which option presented to you will have you act more responsibly to prevent harm to others.

This legal and ethical obligation requiring you to take reasonable steps to avoid causing harm is called The Duty of Care.

Malta University Press’ latest publication takes the concept to Maltese courts and explores whether it has evolved into a meaningful legal principle or has become a mere legal formality.

Penned by Dr Ivan Mifsud, the Dean of the Faculty of Laws at the University of Malta, the publication is a uniquely meaningful inquiry into just how big an impact the Duty of Care has left on the Maltese legal scene.

The book is available for purchase from MUP’s online store.
