520			_aIt has been clear for some time that an expert witness cannot be sued by a client who loses a case because of what he perceives to be the expert's poor performance. The decision in "Meadow v General Medical Council" ([2006] EWHC 146 Admin, not reported) has now extended this immunity to prevent the bringing of disciplinary proceedings against an expert by their professional body. This has obvious implications for the construction industry. Advises that institutions thinking of changing their rules should await the outcome of an appeal in the case.
