CALGARY- A Queens Bench Justice has somewhat restored the reputation of a former Calgary medical examiner.

Wednesday, the court quashed a government review into the work of Dr. Evan Matshes, saying it was “unfair” and was directed at his reputation.

It also ordered the government to pay some of Matches’ legal costs.

Nearly a year ago, the government issued a press release saying Matshes’ work was found to be “unreasonable” in 13 out of 14 cases reviewed.

Alberta Justice says it had agreed to quash the review heading into the hearing and it now plans to do another external review of Dr. Matshes’ work.
