Testamentary capacity assessments
Dr. Pather conducts a face to face capacity assessment of your client in their home in accordance with the test established in Banks v Goodfellow. A detailed report is then generated.
Consulting service for solicitors dealing with claims of clinical negligence
Dr. Pather reviews clinical records, ‘translates’ medical jargon and produces a screening report of each case with identification of possible breach of duty and causation. Ultimately she can save your firm money by helping you eliminate cases unlikely to win. Dr. Pather has access to the legal databases.
Her master’s degree in medical law coupled with over 20 years of clinical experience places Dr. Pather in an ideal position to aid and support solicitors as a medical advisor. She is not an expert witness but can advise on the most appropriate expert and what to ask them.
The cost is dependent upon the size of the file and the time needed to review the case.
