Members of the Health Group are retained to assist with the enforcement of the Public Health Act and its regulations. The nature of the work is specialized and involves working with Environmental Public Health (EPH) and Public Health Inspectors to ensure members of the public are protected and have access safe food and housing. 

Lawyers in our Health Group work closely with EPH to develop and implement enforcement strategies, including, obtaining Court orders to gain compliance, bringing contempt application to enforce the court’s process; and should there be any ongoing or acute issues, we act as agents of the Crown with respect to the prosecution of offences before the Provincial Court. 

Field Law also represents health care organizations in administrative hearings related to the appeal of Executive Officer Orders under the Public Health Act and any resulting statutory appeals or judicial reviews.
