What is the test for having an independent review of the record of a medical malpractice case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Possino, In re, 207 Cal.Rptr. 543, 37 Cal.3d 163, 689 P.2d 115 (Cal. 1984):
It is well settled that this court must conduct an independent review of the record. (Chefsky v. State Bar (1984) 36 Cal.3d 116, 121, 202 Cal.Rptr. 349, 680 P.2d 82.) Such a review merits the conclusion that the panel's findings include all mitigating circumstances which are supported by the evidence or are objectively verifiable. Accordingly, these findings will be deemed true.
