AbstractNon-therapeutic body modification interventions are permitted within the limits of the use of one’s own body that can be specified in the legal system. The authors take into consideration Italian regulation on tattooing and piercing, in particular in relation to adolescents.ResultsIn Italy, several regions have therefore issued acts aimed at regulating the activities of tattoo and piercing also in reference to minors. Discussion. With regard to minors, the rules taken into account set precise limits in relation to the age criterion and subordinate the implementation of such practices to the provision of consent by legal representatives.ConclusionIf such practices are of an aesthetic nature, we cannot avoid considering the implications they have on health protection, and then adopt appropriate measures to protect the person who intends to undergo them, particularly in the case of minors.

Legal Force

Indirect judicial control over the legality of administrative acts within the framework of which the court considers civil law claim whilst evaluates the legality of an administrative act with a missed deadline of direct retrial, is one of the most pressing and unresolved problems of civil and administrative law interplay. The permissibility of indirect judicial control over legally binding administrative acts generates inter-branch conflicts, ‘divergent legal implications’ that have negative impact both on the citizen, when his conduct, permitted by an administrative procedure, entails civil legal sanctions, and on the administrative body, since the civil law practice is a means of “invasion” into its competence to assess the circumstances of the case and make decisions in a particular managerial situation1. The approach of not accepting the binding nature of an administrative act which has legal force, established in the Russian legal system for the court considering a civil case, is perceived as an axiom that does not require proof. However, looking at the problem of binding nature of an administrative act through the prism of the German concept of legal force of administrative acts allows us to question the validity and effectiveness of this axiom for modern civil and public circulation. In German legal system indirect control over the legality of legally binding administrative acts is not possible, such acts are considered obligatory for the courts, with the exception of acts that are null. Thus, the limits of indirect judicial control over the legality of administrative acts are placed in their legal force, and the very concept of the legal force of administrative acts must be built on the grounds of harmonization of the underlying interactive principles: legality, legal certainty, protection of trust.

The possible legal implications of the failure of a mechanical prosthetic cardiac valve have been reviewed within the framework of the Nigerian legal system. This is the sequel to a clinical case we had recently, of primary mechanical failure of a cardiac prosthesis which led to the death of a 19-year-old medical student. A short account of the case as reported by the physicians is presented. As there has been no such case before any Nigerian Court, this review draws heavily upon salutary lessons from the USA and the UK, where such, or related, cases are more prevalent.

And Control

29 Epilepsia S114 (1988)Physicians who care for patients with epilepsy may function as agents or targets of social control. As agents, they may assist in the identification and control of epileptic drivers, may provide information that enables fair and appropriate job placements for epileptic persons, and give testimony that helps the legal system resolve issues relating to the liability of epileptic persons for harm attributed to seizures or interictal behavioral disturbances. As targets, they may be charged with negligent failure to diagnose, treat, or inform about epilepsy or its associated problems, with failure to exercise due care in protecting persons harmed by their patients, or with failure to preserve confidentiality of medical information. Although legislation and judicial decisions have defined some of the physician’s legal duties with reasonable clarity, areas of uncertainty remain, particularly regarding the issue of violating medical confidentiality for the benefit of persons other than the patient.

Abstract In this article, I explore potential connections between law and spirituality as well as some of the legal implications of these connections. After arguing that spirituality is conceptually autonomous from religion and morality, I explain why the spiritual triad of love, communion, and gift is deeply interconnected with the legal triad of justice, agreement, and right. I also make clear why individual and collective intentions and cultural values are the main channels of interaction between law and spirituality. In the second part of the article, I argue that legal systems evolve through spiritualization, among other ways, promoting the dematerialization of the legal system, encouraging the limitation of domination, inspiring the reduction of coercion, stimulating communion and consensus in society, or increasing respect for the law and the legal systems. Spiritualization demands a recognition of the higher dimension of the law and, therefore, helps rethink, reorient, renew, reform, and reimagine law and legal systems. Finally, I sketch a pattern of five levels to measure the degree of spiritualization of concrete legal systems. This pattern can also be applied to legal actors and institutions.

Regional Review

Procedural requirements under the provisions of the Mental Health Act can delay the implementation of treatment for an involuntary psychiatric patient refusing treatment. The authors present such a case where treatment could not be given for nearly two months during which the patient's condition sharply deteriorated. With treatment, the patient improved within two weeks and was allowed to go home. Considerable time and money was spent in the Regional Review Board hearings. The implications of the case are discussed and it is recommended that steps be taken to prevent the interference of a bureaucratic legal system in the day to day practice of psychiatry.

Civil And Political Rights

The recent ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the Israeli Government is part of a welcome effort to ratify multilateral conventions dealing with human rights, some of which Israel had signed long ago. In addition to this Convention, the Israeli Government ratified, during the summer of 1991, the 1966 Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the 1966 Covenant on Economic and Social Rights, the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the 1984 Convention Against Torture. On the occasion of the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, this article discusses the legal implications of the ratification of human rights conventions to the Israeli legal system and to the legal systems in the occupied territories.
