Please join: Health Law Seminar, Tuesday, February 4, 2025, at 12.30 pm with Prof Patrick Garon Sayegh : “On Claiming Medical Expertise in Malpractice Cases (and Beyond): Mapping Legal, Medical and Ethical Domains” @uoft.bsky.social Law, 78 Queen’s Park, Room J 125. See poster & link for online
Poster of Health Law Seminar Patrick Garon Sayegh: He will examine the kinds of arguments that can be made in debates regarding whether or not an expert is properly qualified to critique the work or opinions of another expert. Since these debates routinely occur in both legal and political arenas, a more fine-tuned sense of their argumentative dynamics can be fruitful for resolving them. Professor Garon Sayegh will discuss these issues through an analysis of a specific medical malpractice case. Bio also attached, with picture: Patrick Garon-Sayegh is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Law at the Université de Montréal, where he specializes in the law of evidence, with particular focus on expert testimony in medical malpractice cases. His interdisciplinary research lies at the intersection of philosophy of science, philosophy of law, and rhetoric. Drawing on these fields and his experiences in legal practice, he brings a distinctive analytical approach to questions of legal reasoning and persuasion, evidentiary standards, and the use of scientific reasoning in legal decision-making. His current research focuses on understanding how physicians' clinical decisions are evaluated in malpractice cases, demonstrating how many of these decisions cannot be reduced to purely scientific or technical questions, but rather that they are hybrid in nature, i.e. they have a scientific-technical as well as a legal-moral dimension. Through this research, he aims to develop a framework for analyzing such hybrid decisions while preserving their complex, multifaceted nature. Prior to joining academia, he practiced as a litigator in a national firm handling complex environmental and construction cases. He completed his doctorate in law at the University of Toronto, where his research examined the evidentiary challenges of proving medical malpractice through expert testimony.

Abstract here :
Canada’s rapid rise in deaths from euthanasia and physician assisted suicide, termed Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in the country, now ranks it second only to the Netherlands in terms of MAiD deaths as percentage of overall deaths, with one province already hosting the highest rate of all jurisdictions in the world. Analyzing Health Canada’s annual MAID reports, which show that up to 336 out of 1837 providers are likely responsible for the majority of MAID deaths in a given year, we discuss how the rapid increase likely reflects not a broad Canadian consensus but the capture of a policy-making and implementation process by a small group of activists and clinicians colonizing medicine to become an ideologically driven vehicle for expanding MAID access and delivery. As a remedy and to
