STATUS REPORT

NOW COME, Defendants, Linden Oaks Hospital and Deidre Hartnett, by and 

through their undersigned counsel, and for their Status Report, state as follows:

1. Nature of the case:

A. Antoine Bordelais, a resident of France, has filed this matter pro se 

against the defendants, Linden Oaks Hospital and Deidre Hartnett, who are represented 

by Ruth Enright and Patrick Vezino of the law firm of Baker & Enright in Chicago, IL. 

B. Mr. Bordelais alleges in his lawsuit that his daughter, currently 17-yearsold, was abducted by his wife in June of 2016 and moved her from Switzerland to the 

United States. Thereafter, it is alleged that the minor received care from the defendants. 

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to inform, consult or obtain consent from 

him before care was provided to the minor. He also alleges that the defendants failed to 

properly diagnose and treat the minor. Additionally, plaintiff alleges that the defendants 

colluded with the minor’s mother to manipulate the minor and manipulated the minor to 

prevent her from having contact with him. He alleges various damages as a result of 

these alleged actions. 
2. Motions

A. The defendants filed a Motion for an Extension of sixty (60) days to 

answer or file a motion pursuant to Rule 12. Mr. Bordelais has objected to the granting 

of the extension of time unless the defendants agree to (1) provide all medical and 

billing records relating to the minor and (2) immediately inform him and obtain his prior 

consent for all future care of the minor. These requests are complicated by order issued 

by a Court in Switzerland in August of 2016. The order provides that the minor’s mother 

shall have exclusive parental authority and custody. Further, that Court appointed a 

social worker for the protection of the minor to assure the implementation and 

monitoring of a child psychiatrist and pediatrician for the minor. That Court denied Mr. 

Bordelais’ request that medical secrecy be lifted as pertains to these physicians. 

Further, these defendants cannot agree to these requests as the Illinois Mental Health 

and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, 740 ILCS 110/4 prevents these 

defendants from allowing him to inspect or copy the minor’s records. That provision of 

Illinois Statute does not allow for inspection or copying of a 17-year-old minor child’s 

records without their consent, which has not been obtained. 

B. These defendants continue to request the additional time of sixty (60) 

days up to and including August 14, 2020 to file their answer or motion pursuant to Rule 

12.
Respectfully Submitted,

BAKER & ENRIGHT
