14 November 2014
Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation v DH
Ontario Court of Justice, Canada 2015 ONCJ 229
24 April 2015 (endorsement)
This case involved a child protection application made by the applicant hospital. The hospital's application arose from an aboriginal mother’s refusal to treat her daughter’s cancer with chemotherapy; instead, the mother wanted to use traditional medicine. The Court decided that it was the mother’s aboriginal right, as the child’s substitute decision maker, to use traditional forms of medicine. Subsequent to the Court’s 2014 judgment the family decided to utilise both traditional and Western medicine and the 2014 decision was amended by the Court after a further application by the parties.
