Expert evidence frequently wins or loses cases. The importance of handling that evidence properly is therefore paramount. Fundamental to this is the application of privilege. Indeed, thorny privilege issues relating to expert documents, drafts, communications, instructions, collateral use, joint statements, statements of replaced experts, amongst other issues, come up time and again in practice. This book approaches 'expert privilege' as a subcategory of privilege of its own. This is not because it is defined by a uniform subset of rules that apply to all situations in which expert material is at issue, but precisely because it is not. Neither can assumptions about privilege in expert evidence be based on other areas of application. Instead, 'expert privilege' is a highly idiosyncratic and problematic area. None of the traditional privilege texts are dedicated to this important subject. A book dealing with 'expert privilege' as a subject area of its own is therefore highly overdue. This is the first such book. This book provides an overview of the issues, cases and rules that feature in this complex area, with the touchstone of practicality kept very much in mind throughout. The order in which issues are discussed follows the process by which expert evidence is prepared, from instruction through to collateral use. The intended readership is solicitors and counsel practicing in England and Wales in all the areas of civil, commercial litigation that use expert evidence. This book will also be of interest to practitioners in other common law countries and academics who are interested in English procedural law.

'Expert Privilege' in Civil Evidence

Perry Gamsby

'Sarah's Turn' follows on where the best-selling 'Sarah's Child' left off. Suffering Postpartum Depression, 25 year old Sarah has to make some hard choices, not all of them the right ones. Despite finding someone new to love in England, Sarah Clarkson returns to Australia to be with her daughter and the man who helped create her. Stewart Lethbridge: narcissistic, controlling, violent, welcomes her back and all seems to be perfect. Then Stewart's step-mother, Marg, brings her new boyfriend, Alan, the bikie drug dealer, into their home.... Her parents, Adam and Sue, themselves the creators, through IVF, of Billy, born the same day as Sarah's Laura, find themselves once again caught up in the emotional whirlwind that is their daughter's life. Supporting her through court cases for passport fraud, fighting with her to gain access to their granddaughter, living with the threat of violence if they report the crimes committed against her, the Clarksons' suffer their own version of hell before the gripping, life or death climax forces Adam to make a decision: ... which of his children comes first? 'Sarah's Turn' is a fictionalized account of everyday life for those people dealing with mental illness, abusive relationships and the choices and consequences we all have to make, often on the spur of the moment. It continues the engaging real-life drama of the Clarkson family and, drawn on actual events in the life of author Paul England and his family, given literary license by co-writer Perry Gamsby, 'Sarah's Turn' asks questions, makes statements and leaves the reader richer, wiser and hopefully more empathetic for the plight of those who suffer. As Sarah so aptly says, "Nobody chooses to be mentally ill...."
