Does a duly qualified doctor have to conduct a subsidiary examination?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tilden Car Rental v. Bell, 1994 ABCA 383 (CanLII):
With respect, we do not agree. The rule in Tat v. Ellis is that, where a duly-qualified practitioner who has been directed by the court to conduct an examination says that he or she requires an examination or other study by another professional but not a duly-qualified medical practitioner, the court may order that subsidiary examination.
