Expert evidence is generally admissible where there are recognised standards, professional rules and a body of expertise. Even so, the court retained the discretion not to hear expert evidence, if the court felt that such evidence would not assist to decide any issue justly. Such matters will now be decided more by the weight to be given to the evidence, rather than by questions of admissibility
