Both reports were expunged because neither met the definition of a medical report under Order 18 Rule 12(1C) nor satisfied the mandatory requirement for expert reports on liability and causation under PD 18.1 §66(5). Dr Chu's report was irrelevant to the pleaded negligence as it concerned X‑ray orientation and lacked any causal nexus to the plaintiff's alleged injuries; Dr Chiu's report lacked any opinion on causation, was produced by a treating doctor long after the events and did not substantiate the psychiatric particulars alleged, so it could not stand as an expert causation report.
