The defendants brought a motion to compel the plaintiff to attend in-person physiatry and neuropsychology defence medical examinations.
The plaintiff objected to the in-person physiatry examination due to COVID-19 concerns and her compromised health, and objected to the neuropsychology examination arguing she had not put her cognitive state in issue.
The court ordered the plaintiff to attend both examinations in person, finding that adequate COVID-19 safety protocols were in place at the assessment facility and that the plaintiff's pleadings and medical reports had put her neurocognitive condition in issue.
