Summons to independent medical examination facility director quashed for lack of relevance and abuse of process.
The respondent brought a motion to quash a summons issued to the Director of Clinical Services & Operations at an independent medical examination facility.
The applicant sought to examine the witness regarding the facility's quality assurance process and alleged inappropriate changes to draft reports.
The Tribunal granted the motion and quashed the summons, finding that the applicant failed to establish the witness had relevant first-hand knowledge.
The Tribunal also found the summons was an abuse of process because it breached a prior Case Conference Report and Order and required the production of an excessively broad array of documents.
