692. The complainant or the professional concerned by the complaint may, if they disagree with the conclusions communicated to them, apply to a review committee for a review of the handling of a complaint by the medical examiner.
The review application is filed verbally or in writing and addressed to the chair of the competent review committee.
The review application is inadmissible if it is not received by the review committee within 60 days(1) after receipt of the medical examiner’s conclusions by the complainant or by the professional concerned; or
(2) after the end of the time limit prescribed in the first paragraph of section 691 where the conclusions were not communicated within that time limit.
The review committee may extend the 60-day time limit prescribed in the third paragraph only if it is satisfied that it was impossible for the applicant to act earlier.
