This article focuses on legal regime of relationship between doctor and patient which arises from cross-border health care. In most cases the international element consists in different domiciles of doctor and patient. Specifically, the article will analyse this relationship from the point of view of Article 6 of Rome I Regulation. To be precise, it will evaluate whether patient falls within the definition of “consumer” in the meaning of Article 6 and therefore is a subject to consumers’ protection given by this Article. In case that patient shall be indeed considered consumer, the following text will also explain what consequences this brings to law applicable to cross-border doctor-patient relationship.
