The lawsuit, which was filed against the health systems by the Bert Fish Foundation and has been partially funded by spurned Bert Fish suitor Halifax Health, alleges Bert Fish and Adventist violated Florida’s Sunshine Law, which establishes a basic right of access to most meetings of boards, commissions and other governing bodies of state and local governmental agencies or authorities.
After the suit was filed, Bert Fish reheld its merger meetings, again selecting Adventist Health as a partner. Last year, a judge ruled that some of the meetings did violate the Sunshine law, but since some meetings had already been reheld, the judge ruled another hearing was needed to determine if the new meetings remedied the violations. The suit against Adventist and Bert Fish seeks to unravel the merger, but in order for that to occur, it must be determined that reholding the meetings did not adequately remedy to the violations.
