Rehab Without Walls has, from its very beginning, provided expert reports for the Court for both Claimants and Defendants in Civil Litigation. The two Directors of Rehab Without Walls (Dr Neil Brooks and Ms Cathy Johnson) had also provided reports for many years prior to the establishment of Rehab Without Walls.
Our area of expertise is in the consequences of brain injury, as a result of trauma, medical negligence, and the consequences of catastrophic injury, including spinal injury.
We currently prepare reports in the following three areas:
- Neuropsychology and clinical psychology
- Rehabilitation Needs
- Care and case management
The number of reports produced remains fairly stable at around 80-100 per year for neuropsychology and clinical psychology, and an annual average of 60 for care and case management.
The experts who produce the reports frequently receive citations to attend court to defend their reports, but it is our experience that these cases usually settle prior to court, and it is very rare that the experts appear in court.
Cases where we have appeared in court include the following:
Hunter -v- Earnshaw Royal Courts of Justice, 19.05.00 (Dr Neil Brooks)
Stacey -v- National Leisure Limited Royal Courts of Justice, 12.04.00 (Dr Neil Brooks)
Heaton -v- West Royal Courts of Justice, 09.01.03 (Dr Neil Brooks)
Martin -v- Ray Royal Courts of Justice, 06.04.01 (Ms Cathy Johnson)
Bhawesh Patel -v- Wright & Midas Security Ltd Royal Courts of Justice, 28.02.05 (Ms Cathy Johnson)
Kadem-v-Pearson, Royal Courts of Justice, 14.10.05 (Dr Neil Brooks)
Cannon-v-Cannon, Royal Courts of Justice, 26.06.05 (Ms Cathy Johnson)
Care and rehabilitation reports are prepared, following a visit to the client in his/her own home or in the hospital or clinic, where they are based. Neuropsychology and clinical psychology reports can be prepared following an examination of the client in their own home, in our offices in Milton Keynes, or in clinics in Manchester and London.
