Terms of service

The terms on which M-Bay Specialists accepts instructions from attorneys and legal firms.

1. Who these terms apply to

These terms apply to attorneys and legal firms instructing M-Bay Specialists. They are not terms of treatment and they do not apply to claimants as patients.

2. Nature of our services

We provide expert medico-legal opinion and report writing. An assessment carried out for medico-legal purposes does not create a treating practitioner–patient relationship, no treatment is provided, and nothing in a report constitutes medical advice to the person assessed.

3. Instructions and acceptance

4. Fees, quotations and payment

5. Turnaround times

Timeous delivery is one of our stated values and we plan capacity around it.

6. Cancellations and non-attendance

7. Expert independence

Our specialists provide independent expert opinion. An expert’s overriding duty is to the court, and that duty takes precedence over any obligation to the instructing party. We will not adjust a finding to suit an instruction.

8. Confidentiality

Information received in the course of an instruction is treated as confidential and is handled as set out in our privacy policy.

9. Limitation of liability
