1992
Health Professions
An individual of full capacity is not obliged to give consent to medical treatment, nor is a medical practitioner or other service provider under any obligation to provide such treatment without consent, even if the failure to treat will result in the loss of the patient's life. The Superior Court of Quebec applied the Civil Code of Lower Canada to hold that Mrs. B. had the right to discontinue her respiratory support treatment, even though this would soon lead to her death.

Judicial Review, Health Professions
The respondent had withheld part of the plaintiff's GP payments saying that he had failed to devote himself full time to his practice. The plaintiff sued, and the defendant sought to strike out his application, saying that his application had to be by way of public law action through a judicial review. Held: The fact that the defendant's decision was a public law act did not prevent the plaintiff pursuing his rights in private law and that could be by way of ordinary action. The plaintiff had a relationship with the committee which established private law rights. The rule of procedural exclusivity does not apply where a defendant in a civil case simply seeks to defend himself by questioning the validity of a public law decision.
