As an expert witness I find this very concerning. .
I take my role as an expert seriously – this is important work and my duty is to the court and my duty includes to present my evidence thoroughly, and illustrate how i reached my opinion as well as the possible range of opinion.
In mental health cases the history can be complex, or amount of records to review and summarise can be lengthy., the difficulties described can be complicated and many factors including non incident related stressors must be considered and shown to have been considered,
I feel that I will be in a position between either having my report rejected (especially by an agency who will have a binary approach to this rule) because it exceeds 20 pages vs being criticised for leaving out crucial information.
I would appreciate the thoughts of others in the legal profession in this regard
Is that 30 pages with or without exhibits? I suggest without.
27.2 All documents contained in bundles which have been agreed for use at a hearing shall be admissible at that hearing as evidence of their contents, unless –
(1) the court orders otherwise; or
(2) a party gives written notice of objection to the admissibility of particular documents.
During disclosure unless one serves a notice to prove, the document is going in.
At least that’s my view.
