As a result of a notice in the Fall, 1975 issue of the Newsletter of the International Childbirth Education Association, printed courtesy of ICEA President, Peg Beals, R.N., I have been informed of pending cases in St. Cloud, Minnesota, St. Joseph, Missouri, Forty Myers, Florida, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, none of which have been successful to date.
2.
St. Vincent's Hospital v. Hulit, 520 P.2d 99 (Mont. 1974).
3.
On the issue of whether there is a right to judicial review of a private hospital's decision making process, the court said: “We need not here decide that issue, but will assume that such a review is proper.”
4.
It is of interest to note that while the court lifted the temporary restraining order, the hospital has apparently continued to permit fathers in the delivery room. (Private communication, Peg Beals, Nov. 11, 1975.)
