  • Expert Evidence - do I need to apply for Court's permission

    Hello everyone,


    I got a Court order to provide a medico-legal report to support my case.
    I have a number of medical reports and other documents that I will submit to the medical expert for evaluation.
    The problem is that some of these documents are falsified. They are backdated and the content in them is incorrect.
    I cannot let these false documents be a source of my medical report and to prove the falsification I intend to instruct an IT Expert.

    Now to the question I want to ask you. For that IT report, do I need to apply for Court's permission?
    I understand from the CPR 35 that no expert evidence is admissible without Court's permission but I am a little bit unsure in this case since it is needed for another report that was already ordered by the court.


    Many thanks for your answers in advance.
