The employer brought a motion for the production of the complainant's medical documents, including clinical notes from her general practitioner, her psychiatrist's complete file, and decoded OHIP forms.
The complainant, who alleged wrongful dismissal after being terminated for attending school while on short-term sick leave, opposed the motion.
The Board granted the motion in part, ordering the production of the psychiatrist's notes and records, as the complainant had put her mental health at issue by claiming her school attendance was part of a recommended treatment plan.
However, the Board denied the request for the general practitioner's records and OHIP forms, finding them overly broad and unnecessary at this stage.
