What is the most difficult profession to sue in Singapore?
I am no expert in this area but talking to experienced lawyers, it seems that the consensus is that doctors are the most difficult to sue. Why?
In order to prove professional negligence, you have to show that the professional was careless in some way. Almost always, this means hiring someone else who is respected and in the same profession to come to court to testify. This expert will then have to point out the mistakes of the defendant professional.
It is extremely difficult to hire one doctor to point out the mistakes of another doctor in court. Perhaps this is because the profession here is small and closely knit. Result - expensive doctors have to be consulted from overseas, and if necessary, flown to Singapore for preparation as well as for the trial. A big legal bill is likely to be the result.
