Cross-examination of the treating psychiatrists was unnecessary and not sufficiently probative because the issues regarding sick leave, causation and exaggeration could be fairly tested by the surveillance evidence, the joint and opposing psychiatric expert reports, and cross-examination of the Plaintiff; sick leave certificates are treatment-based subjective evidence and the trial judge is entitled to assess them against all available evidence; case management and proportionality weighed against requiring oral evidence from treating doctors.
