The plaintiff brought a medical malpractice action against the defendants relating to cosmetic facial surgery.
The defendants moved for summary judgment to dismiss the action.
The plaintiff alleged breaches of the standard of care, lack of informed consent, battery, fraud, and vicarious liability.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to tender any admissible expert evidence to support her claims, while the defendants provided uncontradicted expert evidence that the standard of care was met and the procedures were appropriate.
The court applied the 'full appreciation test' under Rule 20 and concluded there was no genuine issue requiring a trial.
The defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted and the action was dismissed.
