MEDICO-LEGAL EXPERIENCE
I am instructed to prepare approximately 40 medico-legal reports per year. These
instructions are approximately divided:60% single joint expert (this proportion is increasing)
25% claimant
15% defendant
Approximately two thirds of these instructions are for psychiatric assessment in personal
injury cases. The remaining third are for parental assessments in child care proceedings. I
undertake the occasional assessment on behalf of individuals charged in the criminal courts.
My court appearances are in the order of 4-5 per year. I have experience of giving evidence
in the Magistrates’ Court, the Crown and County Courts and the High Court.
I am included in the Law Society Directory of Expert Witnesses, in the UK Register of Expert
Witnesses and in the Expert Witness – Expert Consultant.
I regularly attend Expert Witness training events and I have received Expert Witness training
from Bond Solon in London.
I am asked by Dorset Police to act as an adjudicator in cases where police officers claim
work related stress and this has not been resolved within the force.
