About This Course

Since 2000, a hospital’s defense counsel could have ex parte discussions with any employee, staff member or agent of a hospital as per Section 6.17(e) of the Hospital Licensing Act which created an important exception to the Petrillo doctrine. But this act is often overlooked and disbelieved and the communication it allows therefore does not occur. This CLE course will explain the rules as they existed before the HLA, examine the effects of the law for a hospital’s defense team and highlight the nuances that practicing attorneys need to be aware of.
