Miscarriages of Justice: The Role of Experts

ByDr Robert Cavanagh

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.  In these situations, expert evidence can lead to miscarriages of justice.  What is often worse, is that the injustice is supported by ‘experts’ which can make it more difficult to overturn.
