The context behind the instruction
Statutory duties on construction sites apply across the UK. The civil claim, however, runs under the rules of its forum, and the requirements for expert evidence differ between England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
For nation-specific context, see expert evidence across the UK nations. The register does not determine legal issues or provide legal advice.
Report routes
Reports commonly considered
In serious injury claims, condition and prognosis reports and care needs assessment reports address separate questions. Their scope should follow the issues, the available records and the questions put to the expert.
