Abstract

This thesis considers the use of the civil tort of battery to address one form of obstetric violence: unauthorised vaginal examinations. The work critically engages with the benefits and limitations of applying tortious battery to this manifestation of obstetric violence, and determines the extent to which the action could address the wrongs and harms of UVEs.
