In this episode we consider the case of Noureddine v Adlard [2022] VSC 719, a judicial review application of a Medical Panel determination decided by Walker JA sitting at first instance in the Victorian Supreme Court which involved a question as to whether, when a Medical Panel requested to provide its binding medical opinions to referred medical questions, undertakes its own independent research and fails to provide the product of that research to the parties for comment or submissions before rendering its opinion, that failure constitutes a breach of its procedural fairness obligations owed to the parties.
