Question 1Explain how the test used to determine the standard of care required from professionals is different from the test used to determine the standard of care required generally.
The standard imposed is more correctly stated as the standard of care expected from a reasonable professional in the same circumstances. That is, where the person is a professional, it is the reasonable doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc. Thus, the standard required from a professional is much higher than that required from a normal person. A professional is required to have that degree of skill and ability which would be present in a reasonably experienced member of the profession, but must exercise that skill as a responsible professional. When the average standard or accepted practice of the profession falls below what the judge considers appropriate from a reasonably prudent professional, a higher standard will be required. Thus, common practice will not always justify the conduct of a professional in a given situation.

While there are no overt errors in this, it is rather overly dry. Particularly the last item is one that the writer should view as more a matter of real world factors. If every woman (or man) who has ever been stood up for a date went to court over it, the lawyers of the world would have a field day, and the rest of the world would bankrupt itself on the luxury of lawsuits that should never be brought.
