What have the medical opinions of the medical specialists who have advised the Respondent to follow their recommendations?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Markovitz (Re), 2012 LSBC 25 (CanLII):

The medical specialists have done what they are expected to do – give their best advice as to what the Respondent should do. None of them, we note, has said, either expressly or by implication, that unless he follows their recommendations the Respondent constitutes a present, a foreseeable or even a remote, risk of harm to clients, the public or the legal profession. Cf. Law Society of BC v. Watt, [2001] LSBC 16 at paragraph [24].
