Can a defence medical with an orthopaedic surgeon after one has been performed by a physiatrist be performed?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Bougouneau v. Sevigny, 2013 ONSC 2535 (CanLII):

Thus, in Bonello v. Taylor, supra, a defence medical with an orthopaedic surgeon after one had already been performed by a physiatrist was permitted because the evidentiary record demonstrated that it was necessary. The evidence in that case showed that the plaintiff filed two new physical medicine reports after the defendant had had the plaintiff seen by a physiatrist and that these reports showed that her physical condition had materially deteriorated after the defence obtained its physiatrist assessment.
