In the first decision on the issue by a Florida appellate court and possibly by any court in the country, a panel in Tallahassee has ruled that the Florida Medical Association and three doctors are not immune from liability in connection with efforts to discipline a doctor who testified as a plaintiff expert in a malpractice case. The ruling is the latest setback for medical societies that have targeted plaintiff experts in an attempt to clamp down on what they consider fraudulent and abusive testimony.

An appeals court in Tallahassee has ruled that the Florida Medical Association and three Florida doctors are not immune from liability in connection with efforts to discipline a doctor who testified as a plaintiff expert in a malpractice case.
On Tuesday, a 1st District Court of Appeal panel unanimously held that state and federal laws governing physician peer review do not immunize the FMA and the doctors from a suit brought by a doctor who faced disciplinary action for his testimony.
