Why Choose MRC
For the most complex cases, large volumes of records can be overwhelming. There is however a strategy that can make all the difference: pre-approved pagination. This approach not only eases the burden on legal teams but can also lead to cost reductions and more efficient proceedings.
In “Re X, Y and Z [2010] All ER (D) 229” paragraph 141 offers invaluable guidance. It recommends the recovery of pre-approved pagination costs, particularly in cases involving complex investigations, such as fabricated or induced illness. The reason behind this guidance is clear:
- Streamlined Record Management: The burden of responsibility on legal teams to read, mark and digest large sets of records can be immense. Pre-approved pagination ensures that these records are not just organised but also indexed, making them easily navigable for all parties involved.
- Cost-Efficiency: Investing in pagination can lead to cost savings in other areas. For instance, it can result in a reduction in the fees of medical experts. By having records collated, paginated and indexed, legal professionals and the court can efficiently access and present evidence, ultimately streamlining proceedings.
Using MRC to paginate medical records for you can ease the workload on your team, provide an easy to use guide to the medical records, achieve this at a much lower hourly rate than would be charged by an expert paediatrician and can benefit all parties.
