Does a separate represented defendant have to undergo a separate medical examination?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Steve Moore v. Todd Bertuzzi, 2012 ONSC 5008 (CanLII):
The thesis of the second and independent line of legal analysis is that although the rule from Marcoccia v. Gill, supra is correct, it is not a comprehensive rule and a court may allow a separately represented defendant a medical examination even if that defendant is not adverse in interest as against a co-defendant.
