Is a medical-legal report too long?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hamo v. Khan, 2010 BCSC 205 (CanLII):
In view of the length of the reports in question (82 pages for the first report and 26 pages for the second) we might well pine for the days when a mere 13-page medical-legal report was found to be excessive due to its unnecessarily long recitation of medical history: see Hall v. Strocel, supra.
