Medico-legal practice

Guidance for expert witnesses and injury law firms on medical evidence, reporting and compliance.

Preparing for the experts' joint statement: a Part 35 checklist

The joint statement is where two experts agree what they agree on and pin down exactly where they part. Walk into the discussion with the records in order and your reasoning already on the page, and the meeting sharpens the case. Walk in unprepared and it is where a sound opinion quietly comes apart.

AI for medical record review: where it helps and where judgement stays

AI medical record review uses language models to read a medico-legal bundle, GP records, hospital notes, imaging and correspondence, and return an indexed chronology, typed fact tables and summaries with a source page attached to every fact. Used well, it turns days of reading into hours. Used badly, it produces confident answers no one can check. The line between the two is the source page.

Part 35 and the expert's duty to the court: a practical refresher

Under Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules, an expert's overriding duty is to the court, not to the party paying them. That duty shapes the independence of the opinion, the mandatory statements in the report, and the obligation to flag where the evidence is incomplete or your view has a range.

How to build a medical chronology that stands up in court

A medical chronology turns thousands of pages of records into a single ordered account of what happened and when. Build it well, with every entry tied to its source page, and it becomes the backbone of a defensible report. Build it badly and it is the first thing the other side takes apart.

How to build a medical chronology for a medico-legal case

A medical chronology is a dated, sourced timeline of every clinical event in a case. Built well, it turns thousands of disordered pages into one reliable spine the whole claim runs along. The test is simple: every entry carries the document and page it came from, so anyone can check it.
