F. Scott Turton

The appellant challenged a trial judgment holding that s. 13 of the Public Hospital Act answered the claim arising from a memo written by the respondent in the course of the business of a medical education committee.

The Court of Appeal agreed that the memo was written during an investigation or other business of the committee and saw no reason to disturb the finding of good faith.

Although leave to appeal the costs aspect was granted, the court held nothing had been shown to displace the usual order for part-and-party costs.

The appeal was dismissed and appeal costs were awarded to the respondent.
