The
following paper discusses the efficacy of civil provisions in addressing
veterinary malpractice and liability in Jordan by focusing on the legal
liability of veterinarians. This paper discusses the distinction between
contractual liability and tort liability by recognizing gaps in laws that cause
judicial ambiguity among owners and veterinarians. This qualitative description
and analytical paper discusses judicial interpretation, legislatory shortfalls,
and ethical factors in veterinary civil liability.
The
outcomes indicate that while tending to practice in accordance with a duty of
care in general, Jordanian veterinarians have no explicit malpractice laws to
regulate practice in this manner. This creates inconsistencies in judicial
judgments. This comparative viewpoint emphasizes the significance of systematic
changes in legislation to clarify veterinary liability, judicial consistency,
and incorporation of professional ethics in legally binding rules.
The
report is in favor of bringing in specialized malpractice laws in veterinary
practice, mandatory malpractice insurance, and better judicial training
programs. It is also in favor of increased awareness among citizens, alternate
modes of settling disputes, and the introduction of technology in veterinary
judicial systems. Future research should consider examining empirical
malpractice case studies, implications of future emerging technologies, and
veterinary liability in public health.
