Article summary

This week's edition of PI & Clinical Negligence weekly highlights includes upcoming CPR amendments to increase the sums that are recoverable for fixed cost medical reports and medical records where the claim notification form or the letter of claim is sent on or after 6 April 2025. We also look at a number of High Court decisions on fundamental dishonesty and a judgment which considered whether there is a requirement to provide separate breakdowns of the costs of a medical agency and the medical experts. In addition, we have our usual roundup of other news, cases and New Law Journal articles of interest.
