This is an appeal of the dismissal of a medical malpractice claim.
The Court of Appeal found that the trial judge's reasons were insufficient for appellate review, failing to analyze essential components of the plaintiff's theory of liability and explain his findings on the standard of care.
Additionally, the trial judge erred in his contradictory treatment of a formal admission regarding the abscess location, effectively disregarding it despite having previously denied a motion to withdraw it.
This resulted in an unfair trial for the plaintiff.
The appeal was allowed, the judgment set aside, and a new trial ordered.
