What to send with an instruction
Send enough information for us to check expertise, conflicts, scope and timing before we accept the case. Please do not email clinical records until we confirm the secure transfer route.
The instruction details are the parties and case reference, the questions to be answered, relevant dates, the court or tribunal timetable, and whether an examination or conference may be needed.
We confirm whether the matter is within a doctor's expertise and provide their current credentials, proposed scope, fee and timetable for approval before work begins.
Court reports take 10 to 15 working days from examination. Complex cases can take longer, and we confirm the timeline when we accept the case.
How an instruction runs
Send the letter of instruction, records and case details. We review everything before confirming we can help.
We give you a fee based on how complex the case is, and match the case to the right doctor.
