Fidler v. Sun Life - 2006
Lowe v. Guarantee Insurance Company of North America - 2005
The National ME/FM Action Network applied for and was granted Intervener Status in Lowe v. The Guarantee Company of North America
. The Court of Appeal Order of Mr. Justice Lane, on September 2, 2003disent itled the Plaintiff's right to pursue an action for negligence and bad faith in the exercise of a statutory duty by a Designated Assessment Centres (DAC) doctor. The Network took this important issue to court on behalf of the ME/CFS and FMS communities.
The Intervener Status Judgment was handed down on July 15, 2005.
The judgment is quite complicated but it basically supports our position that DAC assessors must be neurtral and unbiased. We would like to thank and congratulate our lawyer, Mr. Hugh Scher, for a job well done.
Our Consel, Hugh Scher, explains the judgment.
