The Challenge

A solicitor defending a complex disability discrimination claim needed an urgent Condition and Prognosis report from a neuro-oncology expert - without physical examination. The claimant had terminal glioblastoma, and the solicitor required high-quality input on both life expectancy and cognitive function to support the employer’s defence. The case was high-stakes, the trial date was fixed, and the expert’s annual leave was days away.

INNEG’s Intervention

INNEG responded within hours of instruction by:

• Engaging directly with a highly sought-after Consultant Neurologist specialising in brain tumours

• Confirming feasibility of a remote-report format due to the claimant’s condition

• Coordinating rapid access to clinical notes and liaising with chambers for accelerated availability

• Securing and delivering the report five days ahead of deadline, despite the expert’s imminent leave

Outcome for the Solicitor

• Report delivered in 3 days - enabling full case preparation ahead of tribunal

• Expert evidence addressed prognosis and functional capacity - critical to establishing the claimant’s work limitations

• The solicitor avoided costly adjournments or rushed late evidence

• INNEG reduced time pressure and provided expert clarity in an otherwise high-risk defence

When working under fixed-fee or budget-sensitive tribunal conditions, speed and precision are non-negotiable. INNEG’s ability to source and brief the right expert - even for rare formats and specialist input - gave the solicitor the tools to present a robust defence without delay or compromise.
