Question juridique clé
Whether the complainants had party status in the disciplinary proceedings and could obtain access to the file
Solution extraite
They were not parties to the disciplinary procedure under Geneva law and could not demand file access on that basis.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the cantonal procedural code, applied subsidiarily, defined party status generally; the health-professions regulation only governed procedure and did not independently confer party status on every complainant or patient relative.
