VANCOUVER, BC - On April 10 and 11, 2008 the BC Supreme Court heard the case between Dr. Caroline Wang and the BC Medical Association. On April 7, Dr. Wang filed a petition in the court for a judicial review and a court order to dissolve the conduct review committee of the BCMA citing that she has been denied natural justice. After hearing from both sides the judge has reserved decision until later. (Addendum: The judge reserved her decision until after May 12, 2008 and delivered a written decision in November 2008.)
