title: Limitations of expert evidence.
abstract: Doctors from diverse specialties are required, from time to time, to give evidence either in documentary form or in person to both civil and criminal courts. A joint conference of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Pathologists was held at the Royal College of Physicians on 25 October 1994, with the intention to explore those areas where difficulties might arise for the doctor from either a medical or a legal point of view, both as an informative exercise and in order to identify subjects which might usefully be further examined.
