    HCPI537/2010

    Leave was granted because neuroradiology expert evidence was relevant, necessary and proportionate: the contested legal issue of causation depended materially on technical interpretation of MRI/MRA/Doppler images; the neurologist experts reached conflicting and evolving interpretations indicating interpretative difficulty; a neuroradiologist's specialist imaging and technological expertise was likely to materially assist the court in resolving causation on the balance of probabilities under the court's case management powers.

    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCPI852/1999

    The court determined that specialised radiological issues (detectability of blebs on chest X-ray, utility of high resolution thoracic CT and what should be communicated to radiologists) raise questions requiring expert radiologist evidence; accordingly the plaintiff and the 2nd defendant were granted leave to exchange consultant radiologist reports within 60 days to resolve those specialised factual and clinical matters.
