Client's evidence over preference of EMP's (possibly) Tue 20-Oct-09 01:35 PM
Upper Tribunal decision LH <2009> UKUT 140 (ACC) – unthinking acceptance of EMP report was an error of law.
Tribunals should not unthinkingly prefer the evidence of an Examining Medical Practitioner (EMP) to that of a claimant. As this case illustrates, a proper analysis should be made of the EMP’s conclusions in every case.
