High Court held defendant 2 (hospital) was not vicariously liable because the consultant doctor was a clear independent contractor per the consultancy agreement and the Woodland criteria were not satisfied; defendant 1 (doctor) was negligent for failing to give adequate informed consent about vacuum delivery risks and the unavailability/need to source blood, thus liability against the doctor is upheld; quantum (RM100,000 general; RM10,350 special) is reasonable and maintained; exemplary/teladan damages are not justified.
