The applicability of principles established in this field in the United Kingdom in the 19th century have been questioned and subsequently not followed in a number of recent single judge decisions sitting in Australian Supreme Courts. With respect, whether such rulings will find wide spread acceptance throughout Australia will perhaps be dependent upon a High Court determination on point. In the meantime, a consideration of these decisions and statutory models presently being investigated in the United States holds some interest. Although mindful of over regulation in an ever regulated society, statutory control to some extent might well be justified when the mischief that is sought to be remedied can be readily established and conveniently dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3\/articles\/195\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=7&amp;hits=12&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=DnroiQEtntoc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do not resuscitate\u00e2\u20ac\u009d orders in Queensland: Examining the need to obtain consent<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Jayne Hewitt<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While advances in the understanding and treatment of many medical conditions have extended the lives of many patients, there may still come a time when it is appropriate to consider limiting the provision of certain life-saving procedures, such as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. In circumstances where it has been determined that such treatment would be futile, health care providers are able to institute a not for resuscitation order that communicates this decision to all members of the health care team. Currently, the law in Queensland requires that for those patients lacking capacity, consent be obtained prior to instituting such an order. This article examines the content of this law, and explores the ethical principles that underpin the need to obtain consent; ultimately concluding that it does not support autonomous decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultDetailed.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3&amp;contentSourceHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3\/articles\/208\/fulltext&amp;tocType=fullText&amp;hitListPageContext=http:\/\/legalonline.thomson.com.au\/jour\/resultSummary.jsp?curRequestedHref=journals\/QL\/volumes\/31\/parts\/3___tocType=fullText___sortBy=publicationYear\/articleDate&amp;searchId=8&amp;hit=8&amp;hits=12&amp;articleType=fulltext&amp;freeText=&amp;titleCode=AotsotpciabaiQAnr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><em>Assessment of the strength of the prosecution case in a bail application in Queensland: A necessary requirement?<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/em>Dr Clive Turner<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In exercising its discretion whether to grant an application for bail pending the trial of an accused, an important consideration by the court is the strength or otherwise of the prosecution case.
