Medical reporting agency at work

by Keith Rix

 

Commentary

The issue in this judicial review did not turn on the expert evidence but the case illustrates the role of a medical reporting organisation (MRO) in a particular civil case and there are some general learning points.

Of note, the MRO did not arrange the correction of an erroneous date, it did not recognise how the evidence set out by the expert was seemingly insufficiently referenced and it did not recognise that there would be questions as to how some of the expert’s conclusions were reached.

Learning points
  • Before submitting a report, someone should proof-read it.

  • Facts and assumed facts upon which reliance is made should be sufficiently referenced for the reader to know their source.

  • It should be possible to distinguish clearly between what information is provided by the subject of the report and what is obtained from other sources.
