Section 24 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

24. An optometrist must commit his personal civil liability for acts he has performed, whatever the conditions under which he provides his services. He may not elude or attempt to elude liability, nor request that a client or another person renounce any recourse taken in a case of professional negligence on his part. Furthermore, he may not invoke the liability of the partnership or joint-stock company within which he carries on his professional activities, or that of another person also practising his activities in said partnership or joint-stock company, as a ground for excluding or limiting his personal civil liability.
