However she was dined the right to sue Dr. Charles Smith because of a centuries-old law that protected expert witnesses from lawsuits based on giving their professional opinions in court. Louise Reynolds appealed this decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal “Reynolds' lawyer argued the witness protection rule should not cover a pathologist's investigation which should be seen as separate from testimony.” (CBC News, 2007). As a result of that argument a landmark decision was by “a three-judge Ontario Court of Appeal panel decided Wednesday to allow Louise Reynolds to move forward with her lawsuit against former Toronto pathologist Dr. Charles Smith” (CBC News, 2007) This case set precedent in Canadian law, it opens the door for all other victims of not only Dr. Smith but to any poor souls who have been subjected to like situations.

    Staton, 58 Wash. 2d 879, 886 (1961) (citations omitted). In addition, this “expert testimony must be based on facts in the case, not speculation or conjecture.” Melville v. State, 115 Wash. 2d 34, 41 (1990). For example, in Miller v. Station, the Washington Supreme Court held that the plaintiff failed to establish the element of causation because the expert’s general statements regarding plaintiff’s injuries had “not been related by the expert witness to the instant case.” Id. at 886. The expert witness in Miller merely stated that, in general, nervousness is one of the contributing factors to a stomach ulcer, but the expert failed to tie plaintiff’s alleged nervousness to her stomach ulcer.…
