| | Article: BBC, 16 Nov 2006, Doctor to pay for unwanted baby"A doctor who carried out a failed contraceptive operation has been ordered by a German court to pay financial support for the child." The article reports on a German court case recently reviewed by the highest judicial court in Germany. A Gynecologist has been ordered to pay $767 (600 euros/ £400) per month until the child reaches 18. The doctor was found liable for providing contraception that did not prevent pregnancy.
The couple is no longer together. The father who has been paying maintenance (child support) will be compensated by the doctor for the money he has already provided.
Doctors in Germany are understandably nervous. The logic confounds me but I guess the USA is not the only litigious society!
