Miscarriages of Justice: The Role of Experts
Dr Cavanagh presented an article at the Hunter Regional Law Society on Friday 28 March 2025.
The presentation focuses on what happens when expert evidence is misleading, when it is not based on facts and is not the opinion of someone with appropriate knowledge and skills.
