Application for judicial review of HPARB decision affirming no action on medical complaints dismissed.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB), which affirmed a decision by the Complaints Committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to take no further action regarding her complaints against two doctors.
The complaints related to a spinal anaesthetic administered in 1994 and subsequent care.
The Divisional Court found HPARB's decision reasonable, noting that the investigation was adequate and the treatment provided was within professional expectations.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
