Expert Reports in UK Law

FRANCOIS MIBANGA v Secretary of State for the Home Department
“
It seems to me to be axiomatic that a fact-finder must not reach his or her conclusion before surveying all the evidence relevant thereto. Just as, if I may take a banal if alliterative example, one cannot make a cake with only one ingredient, so also frequently one cannot make a case, in the sense of establishing its truth, otherwise than by combination of a number of pieces of evidence.

“
Section 3 of the 1972 Act does not purport to be all embracing or to restrict or alter the position at common law.

JL (Medical Reports - Credibility) China [Upper Tribunal]
“
Those writing medical reports are to ensure where possible that before forming their opinions they study any assessments that have already been made of the appellant's credibility by the immigration authorities and/or a tribunal judge ( The more a diagnosis is dependent on assuming that the account given by the appellant was to be believed, the less likely it is that significant weight will be attached to it ( HH (Ethiopia) [2007] EWCA Civ 306 [23]).

Daniels v Walker (Practice Note)
“
That decision should not be taken until there has been a meeting between the experts involved. It may be that agreement could then be reached; it may be that agreement is reached as a result of asking the appropriate questions. It is only as a last resort that you accept that it is necessary for oral evidence to be given by the experts before the court. The expense of cross examination of expert witnesses at the hearing, even in a substantial case, can be very expensive.

“
If necessary his attendance can be compelled by service of a subpoena. He cannot be required to disclose the contents of communications between himself and the first party's legal adviser. But his evidence on the issue before the court, which is all that is material, can be compelled.
