What is the legal test for granting orders for defence medicals?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Allison v. Duffus, 2008 CanLII 20330 (ON SC):

The issue of granting orders for defence medicals is a delicate one requiring a consideration of numerous factors including balancing the opportunity of both sides to adduce recent findings and opinions from comparable experts. A recent discussion of some of those considerations is found in Clarke v. Abells, [2004] O.J. No. 5628 (S.C.J.)
