Court of Appeal in Rogers v Hoyle
[2015] QB 265
Key Principle
A report of an official accident investigation (here an Air Accidents Investigation Branch report) is admissible in civil proceedings, both as to the facts it records and as expert opinion, and is not excluded by the rule in Hollington v Hewthorn because the investigating body is not exercising a judicial function in deciding disputed issues between the parties.
