In ''Austin v. McNamara'', 979 F.2d 728 (9th Cir. 1992), the Court of Appeals for the [[Ninth Circuit]] interpreted [[HCQIA]] to bestow immunity on a hospital regardless of its "animosity," "hostility," or "bad faith" in revoking a physician's privileges at the hospital. The Court held that "the test [for immunity under §11112(a)] is an objective one."<ref>979 F.2d at 734.</ref>

This precedent has been widely followed to exclude evidence of bad faith from lawsuits against hospitals for [[sham peer review]].
