What is the test for producing a plaintiff's medical records?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wieler v. Bercier, 2004 BCSC 752 (CanLII):
He had before him no evidence from the plaintiff indicating privacy issues, privilege or irrelevance. This was not a case for production of medical records as was the primary issue in Smith v. Funk. As Master Horn had said in that decision, each case will turn on its own facts.
