Lawnwood Medical Center, Inc. v. Randall Seeger
Case Number(s):
SC07-1300

Transcript:

Summary:

Lawnwood Regional Medical Center argues a state law passed to give its Board of Trustees more power in disputes with its medical staff is valid and that the trial court and the First District Court of Appeal erred when they found the law unconstitutional. Dr. Seeger, president of the medical staff, argues that the 1st DCA correctly found that the law conferred a privilege on a private corporation and impaired the contract between the hospital board and its medical staff.
