O'Brian Jr., William E. (2003) Court scrutiny of expert evidence : recent decisions highlight the tensions. Working Paper. Coventry, UK: University of Warwick - School of Law.
An open access version can be found in:Abstract
Recent decisions of the Court of Appeal in England and Northern Ireland in Dallagher and O’Doherty highlight the risks of error which flow from the current lax standards of English law relating to the admission of expert evidence. Notwithstanding that in both decisions the court purported to apply the same principles, an analysis of these cases indicates tensions in the law, and adds support to calls for the adoption of a stricter test for the admission of expert evidence.
