Beatles author Alan Clayson has described the plagiarism suit as "the most notorious civil action of the decade", the "extremity" of the proceedings provoked by a combination of the commercial success of Harrison's single and the intervention of "litigation-loving Mr Klein".

We included all observational, interventional and qualitative studies published in all languages, which assessed the effect or likely influence of shared decision-making (patient participation in decision-making and/or elicitation of patient preferences) or shared decision-making interventions on medical malpractice litigation or on patients' intentions to litigate.
