Mr. Hatchard was convicted of impaired driving (and dangerous driving) causing bodily harm. He appealed and one of the grounds of appeal was how Mr. Hatchard's hospital records, which showed levels of methadone and diazepam in his blood, were admitted and used at the trial.  The British Columbia Court of Appeal held that the records were properly admitted and upheld the convictions. R. v. Hatchard, 2016 BCCA 134
