In this episode of Lawcast we discuss the interesting and potentially important decision of Master Davison in the Mustard v Flower & Ors case, which focuses on the matter of covert recording during medical examinations and whether this is admissible as evidence. Ciaran Claffey, a Senior Associate in Clinical Risk at DACB, is joined by Adrian Cottam, a Partner in DAC Beachcroft's CSG team who specialises in catastrophic personal injury cases, including brain injury. Adrian and Ciaran set the background and the context for Master Davison's decision, dissect the important issues that had to be addressed in this case, and discuss the outcome of what the Master decided. Support the show (http://www.dacbeachcroft.com)
