In considering whether the claimant should be required to provide a breakdown of expert and medical agency fees, the judge decided to offer the claimant the option of either providing the breakdown of expert and medical reporting organisation fees, to enable an assessment of work of both the expert and the MRO, or not providing that information and having the expert fees assessed on the hypothetical basis that there was no medical reporting organisation involved.

The Government has published its response to the consultation it ran from 18 July to 10 October 2023 on 'Revisions to the Medical Reporting Process for Road Traffic Accident Claims’. The report setting out the government's response summarises the responses received, along with information on the decisions taken and the next steps in relation to implementing outcomes related to the policy proposals consulted upon.

The Government is also engaging with stakeholders until 31 January 2025 on one of its next steps, further revisions to the fixed cost medical reports.
