Abstract: Recommendations by Lord Woolf for the reform of the civil justice system in England and Wales include proposals which are already beginning to influence the provision of expert evidence to the courts. Lord Woolf has himself been instrumental in the establishment of an Expert Witness Institute which has caused some controversy in medical circles. It is no coincidence that all of this is happening at a time when the courts are delivering judgments which are particularly critical of some expert witnesses.
