Dr Christopher Price leaves the Supreme Court in Brisbane, Queensland, October 2023.

An obstetrician who sued six colleagues for millions of dollars under anti-cartel laws after they excluded him from their on-call roster has lost his legal case.

Dr Christopher Price was on a roster of three obstetricians, who covered each other during weekends and holidays, when they tried to amalgamate with a second group of obstetricians at Brisbane’s North West Private Hospital in 2020.
