17 March News The recoverability and assessment of Medical Reporting Organisation Fees Medical Reporting Agencies, 03. Setting Fees and Getting Paid, MRO, 02. Working with Agencies or Panels, Costs Judgement handed down provides greater clarity for Expert Witness Agencies/Panels. JXX (a Protected Party by his Litigation Friend ABB) v Scott Archibald [2026] EWHC 630 (SCCO)
18 February Case Updates Medical reporting agency at work Medical Reporting Organisation, MRO, 02. Working with Agencies or Panels, 11. Report Writing The issue in this judicial review did not turn on the expert evidence but the case illustrates the role of a medical reporting organisation (MRO) in a particular civil case and there are some general learning points. Of note, the MRO did not arrange the correction of an erroneous date, it did not recognise how the evidence set out by the expert was seemingly insufficiently referenced and it did not recognise that there would be questions as to how some of the expert’s conclusions were reached.
