The defendant, Dr. Simon Lin, brought a motion for summary judgment in a dental malpractice action.
The plaintiff, Sharon Shyn Ang, alleged negligence in administering excessive local anesthetic and causing dental damage.
The court granted summary judgment, dismissing the action, on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to provide admissible and persuasive expert evidence to establish a breach of the standard of care or causation.
The plaintiff's expert report was inadmissible as it was not in affidavit form and the expert was not qualified to opine on the standard of care in Ontario.
