An elderly patient, suffering from periodic episodes of dementia following a stroke, is intubated and has a feeding tube. A Public Guardian was appointed for him after his wife refused to consent to a tracheotomy being performed on the patient. The patient’s attending physician believes that, although the patient has suffered neurological damage, he is often oriented and can live indefinitely with breathing and nutritional support. There is a reasonable chance that he will breathe independently if taken off his respirator, although the attending physician is leaving it in place to be cautious. The care team agrees that so long as the patient’s quality of life is stable, the ventilator and feeding tube should remain in place. The Public Guardian and the patient’s wife support this plan. However, whenever the patient appears to be lucid he repeatedly asks to be “permitted to die with dignity,” as is stated (in those words) on a treatment directive that is on his chart. If he can’t be given medication that will hasten his death, he wishes to have his respirator disconnected and, if that doesn’t work, he wishes to have his feeding tube removed.

1. Who has the legal authority to make these decisions?
2. What legal risks do the members of the care team face if they follow the patient’s instructions?
3. How can these legal risks be managed?

Be Gone Pty Ltd was incorporated in 2015. It has two fully issued shares at $1.00 each, and two directors. Jack and Jill, the directors, each hold one share and each work in Be Gone’s pest control business. Jack is an industrial chemist by profession, and now is responsible for both making Be Gone’s pest repellent sprays and spraying customers’ commercial premises. Before 2015 Jill was the marketing manager of a medium sized enterprise. Since 2015 Jill has had responsibility for managing the marketing and finance requirements of Be Gone. During the first half of 2019 business at Be Gone was good and Jill was able to place $20,000 on deposit in the company’s bank account. In June 2019 Jill saw an advertisement for a get rich quick scheme, and decided it would make a good investment for the company. Neither Jack nor Jill had any accounting knowledge – but Jill was aware it was the end of the financial year and so acted quickly. Without investigating the scheme or discussing her proposal with Jack, Jill withdrew funds from the company’s bank account to invest in the get rich scheme. The scheme was a scam and the money was lost. Jack rarely asks about the company’s financial arrangements and was not aware of the investment until Jill told him of the investment loss.
