The expert paediatrician in this case misidentified and confused twins when reading the primary medical disclose. This fundamental error was of seminal importance in this case because the twins had very different birth and post-birth experiences, with one being much weaker and more vulnerable than the other. The judge noted that the cross-examination of the expert was nothing short of a demolition of the expert’s evidence.
