<\/span>Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medical negligence cases under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) often unfold like a ritualized dance\u2014where grief, law, and illusion intersect. Families seek justice for death, courts wrestle with fault lines of accountability, and practitioners face scrutiny shaped as much by perception as by principle. This paper examines five critical fault lines in the CPA\u2019s approach to death scrutiny, revealing how devotion to a \u201cdeity of delusion\u201d can distort both justice and medical practice. By mapping these fractures, we aim to illuminate the tension between consumer rights and professional realities, and to propose pathways toward a more balanced jurisprudence.<\/p>
