What does the Supreme Court's latest medical negligence decision mean for proving causation?

The Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Hemmings v. Padmore has already sparked significant discussion about factual causation, remoteness, and the limits of liability in healthcare negligence claims.

Now, go beyond the written reasons. Join counsel for the plaintiff, the physicians, and the hospital who argued the case before the country's highest court as they share behind-the-scenes perspectives on the appeal, discuss the competing approaches advanced before the Court, and explore the decision's implications for future medical negligence litigation. Hear directly from those who were there as they unpack one of the most important healthcare liability decisions in recent years.
