Est. Faye Carter v. Flemming et al., 2015 PECA 9
Carter was admitted to the defendant Hospital and passed away while a patient there. The Estate of Carter and her dependants brought an action against several doctors and the Hospital in relation to her death. Hospital administration contacted an Ontario physician to review the circumstances of Carter’s death. This review resulted in the Hill Report. The Hospital resisted disclosure of the Hill Report on the basis that it was produced in the course of a quality improvement activity and protected from disclosure by section 29 of the Health Services Act. The decision of the motions judge in favour of the Hospital was appealed.
