A report prepared by an expert – in abuse cases it will usually be either a psychiatrist or psychologist – which describes the way in which the injury which is the subject of legal proceedings, has affected the Claimant.
In abuse cases it will document the history of the case, and give an opinion on the way in which the abuse has affected the Claimant, both in the immediate aftermath of the abuse, and thereafter for the rest of his/her life. The report will also comment on the reasons for delay in disclosure, if the case is historic, and make recommendations as to treatment required together with costing.
