British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Coughlin v. Kuntz, 1997 CanLII 2995 (BC SC):
At the defendant's examination-for-discovery on October 11, 1991, in the case of Fletcher v. Kuntz, he testified that when he performed the surgery using the methylmethacrylate spacer it was the state of the art and that he repeatedly told this fact to his counsel at trial in the instant action but his counsel refused to present the evidence. He also claimed that his counsel covered up the evidence and that he acted in a conflict of interest. He said there was a conspiracy within the medical community in the early 1980s to suppress the information about the use of the methylmethacrylate spacer and that the doctors responsible were assisted in this objective by his counsel.
