Ramsey Hasan v. Lanny Garvar, D.m.d.

Summary

Chief Justice Polston dissents, arguing that the Supreme Court lacks jurisdiction, that the majority’s order improperly bars non‑party treating physicians from obtaining legal counsel under their insurance, and that the ruling infringes First Amendment commercial‑speech rights. The dissent would affirm the Fourth District Court of Appeal’s decision permitting ex parte conferences that protect patient confidentiality.
