Susan is an Asian-American. She wanted to continue her studies at a
local public college but her application was rejected. Susan has
grounds to suppose that it was because of her ethnic origin. She
filed suit against the college.
What law is applied in such a case?
The distinction between Public and Private Law is a purely academic
debate, nevertheless, it also affects legal practice. There are
areas of law, which may not fit into distinction of Public or
Private Law. Study the following case:
An employment inspector investigates workplace safety, checking all
the equipment. The inspector investigates workplace incidents, and
conducts workplace inspections to evaluate compliance.
Decide whether it falls into the category of Public or Private
law.
Mary had therapy sessions. She found out that the psychologist sent
copies of her case notes to the insurance carrier responsible for
reimbursement and that therapist should not have revealed this
information. Client reported psychologist to the APA Ethics
Committee for violating confidentiality principles. Psychologist
explained to Ethics Committee that any client understands that
their confidentiality may be breached when using an insurance
company for third-party reimbursement due to administrative and
professional peer review. Nonetheless, psychologist never informed
client of this risk before therapy began, rather, he assumed client
“must understand” the protocol.
Think of the Ethics Committee adjudication.
Analyze the following case:
Therapist sent a third billing notice to a slow-to- pay client’s
fax machine in her office but client did not report to work that
day. The bill was titled “psychological services rendered” and
handwritten in large print was “Third Notice – OVERDUE!!” with
client’s name. This notice sat in an open access mail tray of the
busy office all day.
Was is reasonable? Is it allowed to send private material in such a
manner?
