Invasion of Privacy Appeal is Filed

Our clients are both physicians.  They were injured in a t-bone car crash in St. John’s.  The defendant asked for years of pre-accident medical and financial information, through a device called interrogatories, as part of a “fishing expedition”.  The judge granted the request solely on the basis that the court papers alleged personal injury!

Being physicians, our clients have a deeply ingrained professional respect for the value of confidentiality and privacy, and asked us to appeal.  The written argument for appeal was filed this week.  We next have to get the responding written argument from the defendant insurance company, and obtain a date for oral argument in the Court of Appeal, which should be available pretty quickly.  I’ll keep readers posted.

I have blogged about this case previously.  The written argument on appeal filed this week is available in our library.
