GW and Another v Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council and Another: CA 31 Oct 2005

The mother appealed a refusal to allow her separate expert evidence in resisting an application for a care order.
Held: Though the issue was settled by consent, the court ventured an opinion. Where a care case alleged non-accidental injuries to a child the expert evidence might be so pivotal that it could be proper to order the appointment of separate experts for the parties.
