Request to submit to medical examination at request of another party
13 Request to submit to medical examination at request of another party
A party whose medical condition is in issue in proceedings before the
Tribunal must, at the request of another party to the proceedings, submit to a medical examination, at the cost of the party making the request, by a medical expert nominated by that party.
If a party has been requested to submit to a medical examination after the proceedings have been referred to the substantive hearing, the party is not required to comply with the request unless the Tribunal authorises the request.
A party who requests another to submit to a medical examination must, at the request of that other party, pay to the other party a reasonable sum to cover the cost of travelling expenses and loss of earnings from attendance at the medical examination.
A medical practitioner who carries out a medical examination at the request of a party must prepare a written report setting out the results of the examination.
A party who requests another party to submit to a medical examination under this section must give the other parties to the action a copy of the report obtained on the examination.
If the party undergoing the examination does not receive a copy of the medical expert's report for the examination within 14 calendar days after the date of the examination, that party may ask the medical practitioner for a copy of the report.
