. The Court of Appeal Order of Mr. Justice Lane, on September 2, 2003disent itled the Plaintiff's right to pursue an action for negligence and bad faith in the exercise of a statutory duty by a Designated Assessment Centres (DAC) doctor.

The judgment is quite complicated but it basically supports our position that DAC assessors must be neurtral and unbiased. We would like to thank and congratulate our lawyer, Mr. Hugh Scher, for a job well done.
