Essential reading for all doctors to learn that Canuck Courts judge EVIDENCE & not look for JUSTICE.
Canadian Courts are ADVERSARIAL not INQUISITORIAL as in many European Countries.
The OMA four staff lawyers do not provide MEDICAL CASE LAW. The OMA Legal dept.does not report and codify CPSO Tribunal decisions.

BTW CPSO " trials" are TRIBUNALS & NOT COURT TRIALS. The TRIBUNAL members have name
cards in front of then unlike COURT JUDGES, One does NOT have to STAND when Tribunal members enter the room. One does not have to SWEAR an OATH or AFFIRM in a TRIBUNAL HEARING.

Unlike the Courts, the CPSO Tribunal charges the OMA member the costs of the proceedings at about $3500 a day.  The CMPA insurance does not cover an APPEAL to Ont. Superior Court. The usual retainer is $30,000. Knowledge of the Law is important.
