Mealey's (September 24, 2018, 7:12 PM EDT) -- SALEM, Ore. — A trial court erred in relying on a statutory exception to grant defendants’ motion to compel the disclosure of discussions between a treating physician and a plaintiff who alleges that she was injured when the apartment balcony she was standing on collapsed, the Oregon Supreme Court concluded Sept. 13.

Oak Tree Realtors, Inc., et al., No. S065530, Ore. Sup., 2018 Ore. LEXIS 718)....
