Intervener Status Judgment Handed Down for Lowe v. Guarantee Insurance
The National ME/FM Action Network applied for and was granted Intervener Status in Lowe v. The Guarantee Company of North America. The Court of Appeal Order of Mr. Justice Lane, on September 2, 2003 disentitled 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 Network took this important issue to court on behalf of the ME/CFS and FMS communities.
The Intervener Status Judgment was handed down on July 15, 2005. The judgement 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.
