    2020 BCSC 2073

    Summary

    The Provincial Health Services Authority (“PHSA”) sought judicial review of the decision of the Hospital Appeal Board (“HAB”) dated August 20, 2020 in respect of the order that Dr. Andrew Campbell be reinstated at the British Columbia Children’s Hospital (“BCCH”). PHSA brought an application for an interim order staying the HAB’s decision until the final disposition of the judicial review. The Court determined that there was a serious issue to be tried, that there was compelling evidence of irreparable harm if the stay was not granted, and that the balance of convenience favoured the stay being granted. The Court granted the PHSA’s application for a stay of the decision.
