Abstract
The requirements of consent to medical treatment, including the legal capacity of minors, psychotic patients, and prisoners to give binding consent to medical intervention, have increasingly presented a confused and anxious problem. A series of legal decisions of a binding or persuasive nature are analysed and five “rules”, outlining the extent of the duty to advise and the degree of disclosure demanded by law, are advanced.
