In Lacroix v Federation Insurance Company of Canada et al, Mr. Justice Labrosse dealt with the issue of defendants seeking to prepare medical experts for trial. The experts had performed examinations of the plaintiff under s. 42 (as it then was) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule many years before the trial. The defendants were seeking an order confirming that the plaintiff’s consent was not required for the defendants’ counsel to meet with the experts. Mr. Justice Labrosse confirmed that plaintiff consent was not required before defendants’ counsel met with the medical experts.
