English abstract
This study aims to identify the civil liability of the consulting engineer according to the Omani law by answering the following questions:
Who is responsible for the agreement of undergoing medical treatment? Are they the parents? If yes, what is the sentence in the case of disagreement between them or divorce; or if their absence is required; or if their presence is required while the juvenile is admitted in a nursing home or a penal institution?
To answer these questions the researcher has completed the following: 1. Collect Omani laws related to the practice of Medicine in the Sultanate
of Oman. 2. Collect a number of doctrinal resources whether it be general or
specialized within or outside the Sultanate. 3. Collect several judicial rulings which were harnessed to benefit the
study. The Main Results of Dissertations:
Some of the most prominent results that the study has attained are as
follows:
1. The incapability of the incompetent underage patient to understand the
simple and/or complex medical works. 2. It is the responsibility of the juvenile's guardian to take care of his
treatment which will insure him a happy, relaxing life. 3. Originally it is the father that is the guardian to his children and
therefore he is responsible for them whether or not he is still married to the mother of the children; however, this origin could face certain obstacles and hence he is neglected and disregarded and the patient would be treated without anybody's consent. There are some cases in which the mother can interfere in being in charge for treating her
children. 4. From the moment of birth until the legal age a person experiences
different stages during growth in which he/she develops his/her abilities and capacities; however these capacities defer from one person to
another. 5. It is originally the patient that makes the decision on treating himself;
and exceptions are made from ones who have greater and higher legal authority over the patient concerning his treatment regardless of its type.
