Hospital LIability for Medical Research Studies

Amy J. Kolczak & Melissa Phillips Reading

Your hospital and physicians have the opportunity to conduct a study on a new method for the early detection of a disease. They go through the necessary procedures of obtaining patients at risk for the disease, and those patients knowingly agree to participate in the program. However, there may be one problem with this scenario. According to a recent case out of New York, your hospital and physicians may have just established a hospital-patient and/or physician-patient relationship with each of the study participants, exposing all of them to the risk of multiple medical malpractice lawsuits.

Yellowstone Injunctions Not Automatic

Warren A. Estis & William J. Robbins

A <i>Yellowstone</i> injunction allows a tenant that has been served with a notice to cure an alleged lease default to litigate in Supreme Court whether or not there has been a default, without the risk of losing the lease if the court finds a default. The injunction tolls the running of the tenant's time to cure the alleged default. So, even if there is a determination at the end of the lawsuit adverse to the tenant, the tenant still has time to cure and save the lease.
