Abstract
In France, the Leonetti law proposes a legal frame concerning decision-making with the patients at the end of life. The implementation of this law varies according to the places of exercise of care. A descriptive and reflexive multidisciplinary research work was performed to study the application of this law within three palliative care units. The results highlight a gap between the practices and the legal frame. Nevertheless, the teams were creative in the construction of the decision-making in their practice, thereby reaching the collegiality promoted by the law. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
